How does a three dimensional synthetic mat function?
A geosynthetic erosion control mat helps nature to establish a natural, vegetation cover, as it :
- acts as an artificial root-system
- holds soil particles and seeds
- reduces water and wind velocities
- creates a micro-climate and favours germination of seeds and growth
- reinforces the vegetation cover in the root-zone
The protection improves in time with the establishment of vegetation; this may be the
unique aspect of the synthetic erosion control system
