  2. Dymondia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dymondia

    The deep roots act as water wells providing water to the plant as needed. The Dymondia carpet normally appears green/silver in color, but when roots are depleted and the plant needs water the leaves curl and their silver undersides are exposed to view. Water as needed in the silver colored areas to uncurl the leaves and return to green/silver ...

    Wind throw is the toppling of a tree due to the force of the wind, this exposes the root plate and adjacent soil beneath the tree and influences slope stability. Wind throw is a factor when considering one tree on a slope; however, it is of lesser importance when considering general slope stability for a body of trees as the wind forces involved represent a smaller percentage of the potential ...

    Several aspects of vetiver make it an excellent erosion control plant in warmer climates. Vetiver's roots grow almost exclusively downward, 2–4 m (7–13 ft), which is deeper than some tree roots. [5] This makes vetiver an excellent stabilizing hedge for stream banks, terraces and rice paddies, and protects soil from sheet erosion. The roots ...

    Once the plants grow to full height, their enormous leaves shade out all the space below them, preventing any other plant from growing nearby. It also has a shallow root system that facilitates soil erosion. [3] The tree can grow to a height of 15 metres (49 ft) and has very large leaves, each up to 1 metre (3.3 ft) in length.

  6. Berberis repens - Wikipedia

    Because of its spreading habit it is used to control erosion in dry areas, [10] though it is not a fast spreading plant. [36] It is the very deep and extensive root system that gives the plants their adaptation to low water conditions. [26] Plants grown from seed are widely available from commercial and non-profit sources, but no cultivars have ...

    Deep-rooted plants like trees can't be planted on the structure itself, which will only have soil depths of 1 to 4 feet. But the nursery will eventually grow enough plants — including oaks and ...
