Drylands are a widely degraded biome characterized by low productivity and high abiotic
stress. Biological soil crust (biocrust) inoculants hold promise as a rehabilitation material in …

Despite investigations suggesting that agro-geo-textiles (AGT) could be an effective and
inexpensive soil conservation method, limited quantitative data are available on erosion …

Decomposed granite roadcuts are difficult to revegetate after losing the topsoil and
vegetation cover. We developed a new drilling machine, Digger, to efficiently drill six holes …

Soil is a vital part of the natural environment and is always responding to changes in
environmental factors, along with the influences of anthropogenic factors and land use …

There is a lack of information available on the in situ extreme rainfall storms-induced
hydrological and sedimentological dynamics of conservation tillage-based agro-geotextiles …

Biological geotextiles have considerable potential for soil erosion control, but few studies
have been completed on their effects on aboveground biomass production. Hence, field …

Biodegradable geotextiles have the potential to significantly reduce soil loss and ensure
slope stability in areas at risk. Here, we focus on three biodegradable textiles (namely, jute …

The impact of erosion control geotextiles on the surface runoff from slopes is quite variable
and depends strongly on site-specific conditions (soil characteristics, slope morphology …

Soil erosion has a significant role in ecology, economy and in environmental protection
therefore its quantification and prediction are very important, particul arly on a national level …

The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of biological geotextiles on soil erosion
and on the main physical (porosity, texture), chemical (soil organic carbon (SOC), total …
