Can plants roots cause erosion?
They help prevent erosion by controlling runoff.
How does runoff impact erosion?
runoff is what causes erosion, because as the water runs down the slope it carries with it the particles of material that form the slope
How erosion will be influenced by grass and shrubs?
Grass and shrubs reduce surface erosion by protecting soil from wind, rain and runoff. The roots of the plants also decrease erosion because a root ball has more stability than loose soil.
Why do plants keep soil from eroding?
The roots of the plants keep the soil in place, and ground covers (clovers, grass) prevent runoff erosion.
What can runoff cause?
