Review of Grass Cover as a Protective Layer Against Surficial Erosion
The undesirable effects on the soil (loss of fertile top soil) have been observed mainly due to erosion by water. The soil surface with an appropriate cover helps improving the soil structure for which many agronomic soil conservation practices have been used. This paper integrates that why a simple...
