Question

Examine and explain the ways in which vegetation change from a forest to a grassland cover is likely to affect the stability of the hillslope

Expert Solution

Step 1

The Stability of slope is also a function of vegetation or forest cover it supports.
Deep rooted trees of a forest reduce the risk of landslide or slope failure.
Managed forests provide less stability compared to unmanaged forests.
