Repairing Damage Caused by Burrowing Animals in Embankments: A Sustainable Proposal
Applied Sciences, 2022 Animal burrowing along riverbanks has a negative impact on the hydraulic performance, and can have severe consequences on the structural integrity, of levees. Hence, as soon as burrows are detected during monitoring activities, it is strongly recommended

Vegetation change in road slopes in the Mediterranean region over 25 years
Journal of Environmental Engineering and Landscape Management, 2022 Revegetation effectiveness requires long-term monitoring. We analysed 50 road slopes 5–8 years and 22–25 years after revegetation. Plant cover and diversity increased over time, with differences between slope types; herbaceous cover increased greatly ...
