Down here in Kaplan, we don't talk about "golden seams" or pretty scars. We talk about the shrub that holds the bank when the levee screams. You see, a woody plant ain't just decoration—it's a living anchor. Its roots grip the clay like a fist, turning a slide-prone slope into a fortress.
This calculator takes the physics of Soil Conservation (Q889669) and puts it in your pocket. Whether you're planting cypress knees along the bayou or anchoring regolith on a Martian ridge, the math is the same: cohesion, friction, and root tension.
Input your slope, your soil, and your vegetation. The machine tells you if you're standing or sliding.
