Abstract
This chapter concludes the work presented in this book. Future research topics are proposed which include suggestions for developing a database of plant species useful for erosion control and slope stability. Decision support systems also need more work and should be available for the general practitioner to use without specialist training. Field studies and numerical modelling should be combined to answer specific questions, especially concerning large-scale slope instability problems. As economics is an important factor to consider, more research into vegetating hotspots only should be performed. Finally, in today’s changing climate, carbon sequestration through vegetation strategies could also be an important line of research
