- •
Vegetation changes soil's composition with relevant hydro-mechanical implications.
- •
Vegetation mechanically reinforces the soil depending on soil's hydrological regime.
- •
Soil roots increase angle of internal friction by 20% compared to fallow soil.
- •
Vegetated soil's suction stress function distinctly differs from fallow soil.
- •
Suction stress may be a good proxy to assess plant hydrological soil reinforcement.
