Research overview

Reviews vegetation-based landfill covers alongside conventional clay and geosynthetic caps. Useful for comparing alternatives, with performance dependent on climate, soil thickness, vegetation and maintenance rather than a universal replacement for barrier liners.

Kontain’s reading note. Refer to the original paper for the authors’ full methods, findings and limitations.
