Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Native Woody Plants of the United States As every seil conservationist knows, there is a very definite rela tion between the density of the plant cover on the $011, the amount of $011 lost through eros10n, and the productivity of that soil. These three func tions vary with each other in a regular and direct manner, and there is no reason to believe that they have not always done so. 8011 is partly formed by vegetation, and vegetation is in good part a product of the seil. Taking the hint from our observation of natural conditions, we must expect to direct our efforts at erosion control toward revegetation, Since it is known that erosion starts With the destruction of the plant cover, and that the kind and density of vegetation is more important in influencing run-off and erosion than is steepness of slope or intensity of rainfall.
