WOOD PRODUCTS FOR EROSION CONTROL AND TURF ESTABLISHMENT

THE BASIC REQUIREMENTS OF PRODUCTS USED IN A GOOD SOIL CONSERVATION PROGRAM ARE THAT THEY PROVIDE (1) A BASE TO REDUCE WIND AND WATER VELOCITY ON A TEMPORARY BASIS AND (2) AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION TO ESTABLISH SOME FORM OF VEGETATION FOR PERMANENT EROSION CONTROL. THE ADVANTAGES OF WOOD OVER OTHER CURRENTLY USED MATERIALS IN MEETING THESE TWO REQUIREMENTS ARE REVIEWED. /AUTHOR/
