Popis:	The study presents the results of experiments with a new type of water-absorbing geocomposite and its influence on the strength of biotechnological protection. The geocomposite influences the increase of water retention in soil and the improvement of the conditions of plant vegetation. The increase in the shearing strength of roots reached 66.7% for shrubs and 20.1% for grass. Increased growth of the root system and the above-ground parts of both shrubs and grass was noted.
