SUMMARY
Despite the development over the 2 of 17 years of root bundle models for root reinforcement estimation, root density, tensile and pull-out root strength remain key fundamental data for slope stability evaluations. Lignin, acting as a matrix, fills the spaces in the cell wall between cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin (a complex branched polysaccharide) and increases the mechanical strength of the cell wall, therefore cascading on the root systems and the soil-root interaction. Contrary to most studies on slope stability, which are focused on the modelling of root cohesion (an input parameter used . . .
