📄 Abstract（原文）
Landscape-based disaster mitigation has emerged as an eco-friendly and sustainable approach for reducing the impacts of natural hazards such as landslides, soil erosion and seismic disturbances in vulnerable terrains. Among various biological measures, ornamental ground cover plants play a significant role in slope protection and enhancement of seismic resilience through their ecological, mechanical and hydrological functions. These plants form dense vegetative mats that stabilize soil surfaces, reduce runoff velocity and improve infiltration, thereby minimizing erosion and slope failure during intense rainfall or seismic activity. Their fibrous and spreading root systems bind soil particles together, increase soil shear strength and reinforce slope stability, particularly in hilly and earthquakeprone regions. Ground cover species such as vetiver grass, wedelia, lantana, creeping juniper and carpet grass are widely recognized for their extensive root architecture and rapid ground coverage. In seismic zones, vegetation reduces secondary hazards such as earthquake-induced landslides and soil degradation by strengthening the soil matrix and dissipating minor ground vibrations. Apart from structural stabilization, ornamental ground covers provide environmental and aesthetic benefits including biodiversity conservation, carbon sequestration, urban cooling and landscape beautification. Their integration into highways, embankments, urban slopes, riverbanks and hill landscapes offers a costeffective alternative to conventional engineering methods such as concrete retaining walls and stone pitching. Furthermore, combining ornamental ground covers with bioengineering techniques, geotextiles and contour planting systems enhances long-term disaster resilience and ecological sustainability. The present study highlights the significance of ornamental ground cover plants as multifunctional components in landscape-based disaster mitigation strategies.
