Control soil erosion by planting indigenous trees

Our soil is our life giver. As we enter the monsoon season, soil erosion becomes a matter of grave worry for all, especially for people and livestock near hilly areas and river banks. If there is a loss in the fertile top soil, the productive capacity of the land gets compromised which in turn poses a huge risk to our food security. Some of the human-induced factors of soil erosion are felling of trees with deep roots to clear space for construction, deforestation, loss of vegetation, rapid urbanisation, etc.

Even though soil erosion is a natural phenomenon, we can reduce its impact by planting more trees and bushes which are good in holding the soil together, planting grass and creepers in and around farmlands and riverbanks, spreading mulch on bare grounds, building embankments, etc.

Share with MyGov Assam your take on how soil erosion can be minimised by plantation of indigenous trees along the riverbanks and hilly areas. You may also share any success story in this regard along with relevant photographs/videos.

The plants with deep root can help ties the soil layer and build up vegetation can develop soul absorption capacity. So forestation with wooden plants, grasses, bushy shurbs can maintain soil health.

Hollong, Neem, Sisoo, Khair, Sia-nahar is the plants easily available and suitable for the valley of Assam. These plants can be implemented for reducing soil erosion due to it's bushy root structure which ties soil layer and stabilize bank material.

Assam is the state heavily effected by soil erosion and and land land sliding. First of all government should indicate the zones effected by the same. Then build up forest in effected areas with bushy shrubs and wooden trees like Hollong, Mekai, Sisoo plants

पेड़ पौधे मिट्टी का कटाव कम करने में सहायक है। इसकी जड़ें मिट्टी को बांध कर रखती है।

Saplings of Peepal, Bel and Vatavriksha need to planted beside the water bodies, river banks so as to make the soil be held tight alongwith the deep roots of the future full-bloom trees and in turn SAVE the SOIL being destroyed and washed out due to the heavy current of the flood water in no time. People should take self-initiative to go for voluntary service to our Mother Earth and save the precious land area from any undesired destruction. Indeed, we can do it for our environment.

Plantation is for beautification, free and sufficient oxygen, climate protection, to address global warming, season change, safe guard to calamities, protection from sun etc. Plantation is present India need to address global warming and noncooperative climate addresal. Govt should more emphasis on platation at each offices, roadsides, more domestic parks, area for plantation purpose,Plantation regulates ozon lairs declining , more oxygen creation, regulates season change, protective to warming

धरती हमारी माता है, इनसे सच्चा नाता है।
हमको पेड़ लगाना है, जीवन स्वर्ग बनाना है।
