4. How does vegetation slow and prevent sediment loss?

Vegetation has the effect of slowing down vectors for sediment, mainly wind or water. With decrease in velocity energy is lost and the grain-size of the entrained load which can be supported becomes less. As a result sediment is deposited and remains in the area of the vegetation.

Vegetation can slow down vectors for sediment, mainly wind or water. When having decrease in velocity energy is lost and the size decreases and stay in the vegetation area.
