Influence of root characteristics and soil variables on the uprooting mechanics of Avena sativa and Medicago sativa seedlings (2014, background): “…is also available on the root tensile strengths of various mature vegetation types relative to their root diameter (Pollen and Simon, 2005; Tosi, 2007; De Baets et al., 2008; Schwarz et al., 2010a; Pohl et al., 2011), as well as on root tissue composition (Genet et al., 2005; Hales et al., 2009).”
Modeling root reinforcement using a root-failure Weibull survival function (2013, methodology): “In particular Schwarz et al. (2010b) propose an upscaling framework of root reinforcement at the hillslope scale considering the structure and the type of forest cover.”
An analytical fiber bundle model for pullout mechanics of root bundles (2011, methodology): “b was not measured but assumed [see Thomas and Pollen‐Bankhead, 2010]. b Schwarz et al. [2010a] .”
How does forest structure affect root reinforcement and susceptibility to shallow landslides? (2016, background): “Distances from trees were divided by the maximum extent of lateral roots (dmax = 18.15 × dbh; Schwarz et al., 2010b).”
Scaling of the reinforcement of soil slopes by living plants in a geotechnical centrifuge (2017, background): “The role of root stiffness and root–soil adhesion n the mobilization of root reinforcement has been highlighted by ickovski et al. (2007) and Schwarz et al. (2010a).”
