Abstract The use of vegetation as a Nature-based Solution (NbS) for shallow landslide risk reduction is receiving increased attention in the scientific community. Vegetation can contribute to slope stability through both hydrological and mechanical processes. Slope models are valuable tools quantify performance management stabilizing measure. aim this study provide comprehensive overview how effects parametrized existing models. To end, systematic review peer-reviewed literature published between January 2000 June 2023 conducted. has shown that include vegetation, do so with various degrees complexity regard accurately they attempt mimic physical processes present nature. There need further validation models, especially extended areas global south colder regions. Moreover, studies time dependency reinforcement capabilities lacking, an aspect which important light climate change. This provides guidance researchers practitioners their choice appropriate studies.
