Conference topics include:

  • Root-soil interactions and distribution
  • Root reinforcement
  • Soil erosion and conservation
  • Riverbank and coastline protection measures
  • Slope stability modelling
  • Effects of vegetation on hillslope hydrology
  • Bioengineering, ecology and biodiversity
  • Eco-DRR measures, protection forests, and soil bioengineering
  • Risk management and decision support systems
