Soil stabilization is a method of improving weak soils by adding different additives. Nano additives and materials represent a new technology and a revolution in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering, used for soil stabilization, a branch of soil improvement. This research evaluates the particles of Nano- and Pico-Typha solution as a new biomaterial for soil improvement using nano and pico scales, bio, and soil mechanics tests. The research investigates the changes in soil mechanical properties after the addition of Nano and Pico Typha solution as a Nano-Bio Geotechnics (NBG) technique, comparing the properties of the soil before and after stabilization. To control and characterize the size and nature of the particles studied in this research, SEM tests were performed after the nano production process. To check the particle dimensions and structure before and after the nano production process, XRF and XRD tests were performed. After converting particles from micro to nano scale, there are also smaller pico particles. The research studied the properties of Khavaran clay soil by adding Typha and Nano Typha as a Nano-Bio additive in different percentages of 3%, 5%, and 7%, and in curing times of 1, 7, and 28 days. The results showed that the uniaxial resistance of clay increased from 50 kPa to 12 times its initial value by adding 7% Nano-Typha after 28 days of curing. The maximum deviator stress of the soil increased by 10.1, 14.07, and 15.9 times its initial value in confining stresses of 100, 200, and 300 kPa, respectively, by adding 7% Nano-Typha after 1 day of curing. The cohesion and friction angle of the soil stabilized with 7% Nano-Typha solution increased by 2.22 and 6.3 times, respectively, compared to clay soil after 1 day of curing.

To remedy ecological damage and soil contamination in mining brownfields, this research focuses on the Gumi Mountain mining area in Wuhan. It proposes restoration strategies based on Nature-based Solutions (NbSs). Besides terrain restoration and soil enhancement, it also involves the redesigning of water systems, hydrological management, and the stratified planting of native species to restore plant communities. As China's inaugural quartz optical fiber was born here, we need to consider its history when making reclamation strategy for the Optics Valley City. This research took the Pulsed High Magnetic Field Facility (PHMFF) as the prototype to build a model that integrates mountain, river, forest, farmland and flower ecosystems. Based on NbS, we divided the brownfield by functions and redesigned the tourist routes. This research offers new methodologies for similar efforts in mine rehabilitation.

Soil plays a crucial role in hydraulic-forestry and bioengineering works, influencing the design, construction, and implementation of measures aimed at mitigating land degradation and promoting environmental restoration. These systems involve various intensive and extensive interventions designed to address the causes and effects of land instability, particularly in hilly and mountainous torrent basins. A key objective is to create favourable conditions for vegetation re-establishment. Recent advancements have emphasized the use of natural engineering techniques, soil and water bioengineering, and nature-based solutions over traditional masonry structures. These innovative approaches not only restore damaged areas but also focus on preventing future degradation by addressing underlying causes, often related to soil properties and management practices. This review provides an overview of recent developments in Italy, showcasing practical examples of solutions that leverage soil knowledge and mapping, and the use of decision support systems and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The meta-analysis identifies key soil properties influencing hydrological behavior, which must be considered when assessing hydraulic and geological risk in forested areas and when planning bioengineering or nature-based interventions.
