The sampling and measuring methods of root fiber quantity which greatly governs the stability evaluation of a vegetated levee revetment are proposed by this study and the erosion characteristics related to root fiber quantity are analysed by the experiments. The Phragmites Japonica Steud confirmed the dominant species in a vegetated levee revetment and the Zoysinagrass are selected as the experimental vegetations. The characteristics of erosion depth and erosion rate are analysed according to the root fiber quantity and their corresponding regression equations are suggested. The erosion depth and erosion rate highly decrease with root fiber quantity by experimental results which results in great increasing the erosion resistance of a vegetated levee revetment. The corresponding regression equations for both vegetations of the Phragmites Japonica Steud and the Zoysinagrass are suggested with high determination coefficients. The erosion resistance of the Zoysinagrass is better than that of the Phragmites Japonica Steud.
