Functional Diversity Effects of Vegetation on Runoff to Design Herbaceous Hedges for Sediment Retention
Background: Functional diversity effects on ecosystem processes, like on soil erosion, are not fully understood. Runoff and soil erosion in agricultural landscapes are reduced by the hydraulic roughness (HR) of vegetation patches, which furthers sediment retention. Vegetation with important stem den...
