Share:
- 1By facilitating faster surface runoff to clear excess moisture from the topsoil
- 2By increasing the soil's chemical resistance to water specifically through nitrogen fixation
- 3By employing root binding and canopy/litter cover to intercept raindrops and reduce surface runoff velocity✓
- 4By eliminating the need for microbial activity in the root zone to stabilize the ground
Correct answer
By employing root binding and canopy/litter cover to intercept raindrops and reduce surface runoff velocity
