vegetative cover

Vegetative cover refers to the layer of plants, grass, and trees that grow on the ground surface in an area. This cover plays a crucial role in protecting the soil from erosion, reducing water runoff, and maintaining ecosystems. It helps absorb rainfall, providing moisture to the environment and supporting wildlife habitats. A healthy vegetative cover also contributes to carbon storage, improving air quality, and enhancing overall biodiversity. In urban planning and agriculture, maintaining adequate vegetative cover is important for sustainability and environmental health.
