• Descrição: Characterises the mechanical properties of Pinus radiata D.Don roots (the common tree species used for afforestation in New Zealand),including root tensile strength and root reinforcement at the hillslope scale, by means of field pullout tests and by measuring the root distribution at 360 degrees around trees. Quantifies the minimum representative sampling size for the reliability of engineering applications for slope stability calculations.
