Overview
- Presents for the first time a range of well-documented case studies on key techniques and best practices for bio-stabilization projects
- Emphasizes evaluation and comparison of different techniques and challenges across a wide range of project types and geographies
- Adopts a clear and consistent descriptive scheme and performance evaluation rubrics for 30 bio-stabilization projects, including efforts protecting/repairing watersheds, stabilizing slopes along highways, and protecting stream banks and coastal slopes
- Offers abundant visual detail, featuring four to five high-quality photographs for each project, totaling nearly 150 images
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
