1. What is Surface Mulch? Surface mulch is the most effective, practical means of controlling erosion on disturbed areas before establishing vegetation. Mulch protects the soil surface, reduces runoff velocity, increases infiltration, slows soil moisture loss, helps prevent soil crusting and sealing, moderates soil temperatures, and improves the microclimate for seed germination. 2. Benefits of […]

1- Soil Loss: Erosion can result in the loss of fertile topsoil, which diminishes agricultural productivity and can lead to food scarcity and desertification. 2- Water Pollution: Eroded soil particles contaminate water, causing sedimentation, reduced water quality, and  ecosystems. Pollutants like chemicals, fertilizers, and pesticides are also transported, leading to water pollution. 3- Infrastructure Damage: […]
