Abstract
This paper presents the field investigation of deposition and erosion relief of a riverfront using vegetation. The results obtained were as follows: Phragmites japonica showed 0.2 m of deposition and 0.3 m-0.4 m of erosion relief of river front by the critical velocity of 1.0 m/s-1.2 m/s. P. communis showed 0.1 m-0.4 m of deposition and 0.2 m-0.3 m of erosion relief by the critical velocity of 0.6 m/s-0.7 m/s. Salix gracilistyla showed 0.1 m-0.2 m of deposition and 0.4 m-0.5 m of erosion relief by the critical velocity of 1.2 m/s-1.4 m/s. Miscanthus sacchariflorus showed 0.1 m-0.4 m of deposition and 0.1 m-0.2 m of erosion relief by the critical velocity of 0.6 m/s-0.7 m/s. S. gracilistyla had the greatest role, while M. sacchariflorus had the lowest role for erosion relief. These results showed that aquatic plants had an effective role in sustaining a stable channel.
