Soil Erosion Control Planting

Soil Erosion Control Planting is establishing vegetation covers on the eroded or erosion-prone slopes. The objectives are to control soil erosion, enhance the ecological and landscape value of the degraded land and reduce the likelihood of landslides.

In Soil Erosion Control Planting, apart from the slope stabilization, ecological sustainability and visual appeal shall be taken into account too. To promote biodiversity and to arrest potential soil erosion earlier, complementary vegetation community mix using both pioneer species and native species is normally recommended.
