Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)

The subject of soil-bioengineering describes the technique and use of plants for measures to stabilise riverbanks, slopes and gullies. The aim of the course is to develop a practical understanding of many applications of soil-bioengineering methods and to learn their limits.
