   Aug 26, 2022 · Vegetation plays an important role in controlling rain erosion. The amount of soil lost as a result of rainfall erosion can be reduced by up to 100-fold by maintaining a dense cover of wheatgrass and broadleaf plants (USDA 1978 ).

   Feb 1, 2024 · The vegetation canopy can reduce soil erosion by intercepting rainfall and reducing runoff erosion. However, reducing erosion is only an indirect effect of the canopy. This is also why the vegetation root system contributes more to the process of preventing sediment runoff than the canopy.

   Does vegetation root system reduce soil erosion?

   • This is also why the vegetation root system contributes more to the process of preventing sediment runoff than the canopy. Therefore, from the perspective of critical runoff shear stress and soil erodibility, the vegetation canopy, root system, and litter all contribute to reducing soil erosion.

   How do plants help reduce soil erosion?

   • One way to help combat soil erosion uses plants, which have extensive root systems that can help to "grab onto" soil and keep it clumped together. You might have seen this when you pulled a plant such as a weed or vegetable out of the ground and a clump of soil clung to its roots. Plants also help absorb some of the water in the soil.

   How does vegetation reduce erosive force?

   • The erosive force of the flowing water increases with increasing velocity. The presence of vegetation on the slope can help to reduce this type of erosion in the following way: Aerial parts of plants reduce soil flow velocity by covering the soil surface, while underground roots naturally consolidate and retain soil components.

   What are the beneficial effects of vegetation cover in preventing rain erosion?

   • For example, the beneficial effects of a variety of vegetation cover (including wheatgrass and broadleaf grasses) in preventing rain erosion are as follows: Interception: The foliage and plant residues absorb rain energy and prevent the soil from spreading through the raindrop splash.
