  abstract = {{D}ue largely to anthropogenic activities and extreme climate events, the risk of shallow landslides and erosion has increased enormously over the last decade. {A}lthough the planting of vegetation is widely acknowledged as improving soil conservation on slopes, how to plant and manage a vegetated slope over time can be problematic. {C}orrect identification of the mass-wasting process and site characterization is necessary before choosing the plant species best suited to a site. {T}o aid the site manager choose the most appropriate species, we have developed a database containing species sorted by their utility for retaining soil on slopes subject to shallow landslides, wind and water erosion. {T}he list of species was compiled from the literature and suitability is based on ecological attributes, shoot and root traits.},
