Overview

Moving above ground to "living engineers"—grasses, shrubs, and trees.It covers the mechanics of root reinforcement as a "two-for-one" deal: providing a mechanical physical net (like the deep roots of Vetiver grass) and performing a hydrological role by pumping water out to keep soil from getting mushy
