Traditional reclamation of mines and other large disturbances have focused on seeding the sites with non-native agronomic grasses and legumes. However, this has been found to prevent the recovery of the sites rather than assisting the recovery so a technique that controlled erosion and promoted recovery without constraints was needed. Understanding erosion processes is the key to finding solutions. Erosion happens when raindrops hit bare soil, lifting soil particles (up to 224 tons/ha, Gray and Leiser, 1982). The particles are then available to wash down the slope, causing erosion. How is it that this does not happen in natural systems? Of course, a vegetation cover helps, but even before there is a vegetation cover on sites, how do natural systems prevent water from running across the land?
