• How does forest structure affect root reinforcement and susceptibility to shallow landslides? (2016, background): “Subsurface water flow is another process that affects the stability of steep slopes predominantly vertically and is particularly related to and influenced by root architecture (Ghestem et al., 2011).”
• Investigation of plant growth and transpiration-induced matric suction under mixed grass-tree conditions (2017, unknown): “2) likely created preferential flow channels (Ghestem et al. 2011; Wu et al. 2016), hence causing an increased in soil hydraulic conductivity.”
