Yes, and even though not all of Puerto Rico is subject to routine heavy rains it does get hit by hurricanes and tropical storms which can, in a matter of a single day produce great loss of soil due to mudslides. When such slides happen, large ground areas are left exposed without a cover crop and the problem is exacerbated.
