Summary of existing studies on the effects of plants on SHCF
| Plant species | Soil type | Dry density: Mg/m3 | Observed plant effects | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vetiver grass (Chrysopgon zizanioides) | Low-plasticity silt (ML) | 1·31 | Root induced changes in SHCF are mainly within low matric suction range (less than 10 kPa) | Jotisankasa & Sirirattanachat (2017) |
| Bermuda grass (Cynadon dactylon); Vetiver grass (Chrysopgon zizanioides) | Lean clay (CL) | 1·38 | Unsaturated hydraulic conductivity of soil vegetated with either Bermuda or vetiver grass is higher than that of bare soil at any given suction | Song et al. (2017) |
