Abstract:Soil erosion on slopes demands the use of techniques that promote soil cohesion, increasing its shear strength, while contributing to the foristic-landscape recovery. This study aimed to analyze the morphological characteristics of vetiver and paspalum grasses, in order to understand their contribution to soil stabilization, under greenhouse conditions. The following parameters were evaluated: plant height; number of tillers per plant; root length, diameter, volume and dry matter. Both species showed similar v… Show more
