Protecting steep construction slopes against water erosion

Swanson, N.P. / Dedrick, A.R. / Dudeck, A.E.

Field plot rainfall simulator and device to introduce additional surface flow over test plot were used to evaluate mulching practices; effectiveness in protecting soil surfaces against water erosion was determined for 13 mulches; best protection was provided by mulches of jute netting, wood excelsior mat, prairie hay (one ton/acre) and fiberglass (1000 lb/acre) anchored with asphalt emulsion (150 gal/acre); least effective mulches were latex (150 gal/acre) and kraft paper netting; anchoring material with asphalt emulsion provided increased adherence to soil surface and was generally beneficial.
