Combining the Microbial-Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) technique with plants to reinforce calcareous sand slopes on reef islands is expected to achieve both reinforcement and economic benefits. In this study, MICP was combined with Festuca arundinacea (MICP-FA) for calcareous sand reinforcement. Based on water retention and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) tests, the water retention performance and mechanism of MICP-reinforced calcareous sand under different cementation solution concentrations and cementation cycles were analyzed. The growth adaptability of Festuca arundinacea was evaluated under different bacteria solution concentrations, cementation solution concentrations and cementation cycles. The engineering applicability of MICP-FA-reinforced calcareous sand was evaluated by wind erosion tests, and the synergistic reinforcement mechanism was analyzed. The results show that with the increase in the cementation solution concentration and cementation cycles, more calcium carbonate filled and adhered to the calcareous sand particles, significantly improving the water retention performance. MICP-FA can enhance the wind erosion resistance of calcareous sand. This synergistic mechanism lies in the surface cementation effect of MICP and the deep anchoring effect of plant roots. This study provides theoretical basis and technical guidance for engineering applications in calcareous sand areas.
