This research conducted a series of experiments, determined that 40% is the optimal sand-soil ratio, built three rain gardens, and planted Ilex chinensis Sims Cynodon dactylon as key element in gardens. Among them, garden A was with only for one-year observation period. Rain gardens B C, designed three-year were or dactylon, respectively. The method simulating rainwater runoff used to monitor c...

Root growth and decay may affect root reinforcement to soil erosion stability. We measured the effects of on tensile strength Cynodon dactylon roots considering different causes mortality common agricultural land conversion (i.e. burning herbicide application). applied three treatments C. grass: (i) duration (60, 120 180 days), (ii) after (30, 60, 120, 360 days) (iii) application (15, 30 60 day...
