37+ Erosion Control Steep Slopes
Background. I am in need of steep slope erosion control. Figure 5 illustrates erosion control methods for slopes of varying steepness.

This can lead to a larger crest area or a reduction of the embankment area. Similarly, steep gradients increase erosion on these slopes due to reduced water infiltration and increased runoff accumulation (arnaez et al amongst all these control methods, vegetation cover is probably the most widely used measure for controlling erosion on roadside slopes (xu et al., 2006). Few landscaping issues are more pressing and more challenging than erosion control, particularly when you are trying to protect a steep slope.

However, on steep slopes and embankments, there is the elevated risk of erosion. Perpendicular foot traffic creates impacts, which are avoidable. This can lead to a larger crest area or a reduction of the embankment area. Bamboos are being used as living plants as well as construction material in different soil bioengineering techniques in many countries.
