Prevents Soil Erosion The soil is protected by vegetation in various ways; I) The leaves and the branches of trees break the force of rain‚ therefore reducing the breaking up of soil. II) The roots facilitate rainwater to soak in the soil. So as the water percolates underground there is a decrease in run-off. III) The roots hold the soil tightly preventing it from being washed away. c) Prevents Flooding Since the roots allow the water to penetrate into the soil‚ it

foundation it is ’shallow’. Shallow foundations (sometimes called ’spread footings’) include pads (’isolated footings’)‚ strip footings and rafts. Shallows foundations are used when surface soils are sufficiently strong and stiff to support the imposed loads; they are generally unsuitable in weak or highly compressible soils‚ such as poorly-compacted fill‚ peat‚ recent lacustrine and alluvial deposits‚ etc. Pad foundations Pad foundations are used to support an individual point load such as that due to

trip Noel introduced us to the no dig system‚ which is environment friendly. Essentially‚ a no-dig garden comprises layers of varying organic matter piled up. This allows the entire area to be accessed without walking on the garden‚ thus preventing soil compaction‚ which is detrimental to worm activity and healthy plant growth. The layers of a no-dig garden are similar to those of an efficient‚ fast-working compost heap. Using such a varied range of organic materials creates high nutrient levels and

Crop rotation should replace mono-cropping. As the name implies this is a system of farming whereby different crops are planted on the same piece of land in succession. This benefits the land since different plants use different nutrients from the soil. Pastures should be subdivided to allow for rotation of grazing. Ploughing

Laccaria laccata was multiplied using Modified Melin Norkrans (MMN) medium and inoculated into rooted plantlets in vermiculite having MMN/ MS medium or in soil under in-vitro conditions. Plantlets died within 1 and 2 months of inoculation in vermiculite and soil respectively. This may be attributed to the ready availability of nitrogen and phosphorus in MMN and MS media and more competency

grubs. Japanese Beetles can severely damage your roses and other plants in your landscape because they feed on the leaves and can almost completely defoliate some plants. The white grubs ruin your lawn! They feed on the roots of the grass near the soil surface. The damage usually shows up when it’s hot and dry because without a good root system the grasses in your lawn will start dying. Damaged areas in your lawn feel spongy when you walk on the grass because of the tunneling that’s taking place

The Effects of Harmful Algal Blooms and Eutrophication Introduction Eutrophication‚ by definition‚ is a process where bodies of water receive excess nutrients that stimulate excessive plant growth. Eutrophication results from continuous pollution in the form of agricultural run-offs or sewage outflows. Fertilizers and sewage are both rich in nitrogen and phosphorus‚ which are both nutrients essential for plant growth. However‚ these nutrients are typically low in content in aquatic environments
