Shear strength of a vegetated soil incorporating both root reinforcement and suction
TL;DR: In this article, the root-soil interaction mechanisms and associated shear strength of the root permeated soil system were studied considering both the effect of suction and root reinforcement patterns.

A theoretical model for total suction effects by tree roots
TL;DR: In Australia, native gum trees remain evergreen throughout the year and have been used to strengthen soft and weak soil by way of root reinforcement is a well-known strategy that is adopted worldwide as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed field investigation conducted near an Australian native tree, Eucalyptus largiflorens, was described, which included field procedures such as drilling boreholes and taking soil samples, measuring the soil moisture content, soil suction, and also excavating trenches to observe the distribution of tree roots under the ground.

TL;DR: In this paper, the root-based suction of a tree improves the shear strength; accelerates the pore water pressure dissipation and it may alter the potential failure conditions of the soil-root system from a saturated to an unsaturated domain.
