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.

नदियां मिट्टी का कटाव ज्यादा करती हैं। मिट्टी के कटाव को कम करने के लिए हमें किनारे पर बड़े पेड़ नहीं लगाने चाहिए। क्योंकि नदी किनारे के पेड़ों की आयु कम होती है। इसका कारण है नदी का प्रवाह पेड़ की जड़ों को खोखला कर देता है और पेड़ अपने ही भार से गिर जाता है। हम नदी किनारे झाड़ीदार पौधे लगाकर मिट्टी के कटाव को कम कर सकते हैं। दुर्वा (दुब) बहुत उपयोगी घास है ‌‌।इसकी जड़ें मिट्टी को बांध कर रखती हैं। दुर्वा को नदी किनारे लगाकर हम मिट्टी के कटाव को कम कर सकते हैं।

Erosion is the moving of sediments like topsoil, rocks, pebbles by water and wind. There are many harmful effects of soil erosion.Planting Vegetation as ground cover: Farmers plant trees and grass to cover and bind
the soil. Plants prevent wind and water erosion by covering the soil and binding the soil
with their roots. The best choice of plants to prevent soil erosion are herbs, wild flowers
and small trees. Some excellent plants that help to prevent soil erosion are creepers.

The leading cause of soil erosion is running water because water abundancy and has lot of power. Wind is another leading cause of soil erosion because wind can pick up soil and blow it far away. Acitivities that remove vegetation, disturb the ground or allow the ground to dry are activities that increase erosion.

Rain, rivers, floods, lakes and the ocean carry away bits of soil and sand. And slowly wash away the sediment. Rainfall produces four types of soil erosions.

The trees and other plants are responsible for preventing the soil erosion as the trees and plants hold the soil by the roots.
The roots form a dense and extensive network system by penetrating different layers of soil which tightly binds to the soil.
When the plants die and their parts die they decay and bring about the deposition of the organic matter in the soil. This will add density to the soil. This will prevent the soil erosion due to water and air as high density

Plantation of trees helps to enhance the quality of badly compacted soil and thus the seepage of water into the deeper layers of soil increases. We can lead to to plantation drives by initiating it is an assignment in schools and colleges to where each and every student should plant a tree and maintain a log book that contains every necessary information about the tree which has been planted by the student. The student should be assessed and given marks based on his performance at plantation.
