The high erosion resistance of grass swards on c1ay dykes seems to be largely determined by the amount of roots and the root system architecture. Following on previous studies on river dykes which revealed high root densities and erosion resistance in unfertilised pastures and hay-meadows, we experimentally investigated the influence of...
