## Abstract The existence of vegetation in unsaturated soil can change the moisture content of its nearby soil, especially in drought condition. This moisture content reduction produces matric suction in the soil. When the vegetation is capable of extracting significant amount of water and hence, p
The settlement of soil occurs whenever there is an increase in e!ective con"ning stress. The withdrawal of water by plant roots results in a change in water pressure and moisture content in the soil. The variation in the moisture content leads to a change in the e!ective stress that causes a decreas
