[0002] Artificial vegetation reconstructed on rock slopes is different from the natural vegetation that has grown for a long time on them, and is even more different from ordinary garden vegetation on the ground or soil slopes. The construction and maintenance of artificial vegetation on rock slopes have their own particularities. In recent years, the construction of rock slope vegetation has increased both at home and abroad, but there are few reports on the maintenance and management of newly-planted vegetation on rock slopes. Maintenance and management is one of the important links that determine whether newly-planted vegetation on slopes can survive, grow, achieve sustainable development, and present a good landscape.
