Experimental study on gravitational erosion process of vegetation slope under freeze–thaw

Freeze–thaw is the major factor in gravitational erosion creep of slopes in cold regions, but gravitational erosion is influenced remarkably by vegetation cover. In order to investigate the phenomenon of the gravitational erosion process of vegetation slopes under freeze–thaw in seasonally frozen soil regions, on-site freeze–thaw tests of different vegetation slopes were conducted in the frozen soil testing ground of Kitami Institute of...
