The Journal retracts the article entitled “Study on Mechanical Properties of Soil Stabilization by Different Vegetation Roots on High Steep Slope” by Ding et al. [1].

Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the publisher regarding an overlap with a previously published manuscript [2] with a different authorship group.

Adhering to our complaints procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and the Editorial Board, which confirmed the extensive use and dispersed nature of the overlap. This article is therefore retracted.

This retraction was approved by the Editor in Chief of the journal Sustainability.

The retraction was implemented at the request of the authors.
