Use of sediment retention fibre rolls (SRFR) and â€Ķ [South Africa]

Sediment retention fibre rolls (SRFR) and erosion blankets were deployed to stabilise steep slopes after vegetation cover was destroyed by fire, near the town of Knysna in the Western Cape Province, South Africa

Reshaping of gully erosion through integration of silt â€Ķ [South Africa]

The rehabilitation of active gully erosion by re-sloping the banks of the gully in an effort to manage the energy of the water entering the system. Bare soil is protected from erosion by covering it with erosion blankets, brush packing and the establishment of silt fences.

Spekboom (Portulacaria afra) planting within riplines for thicket â€Ķ [South Africa]

The restoration of the thicket biome in the Eastern Cape is assisted by planting ‘spekboom’ (elephant bush) (Portulacaria afra), an indigenous succulent plant within contour lines/riplines on degraded hillslopes. The increased vegetation cover reduces runoff and soil loss.

Ponds to establish micro catchments, harvest runoff water â€Ķ [South Africa]

Semi-circular ponds are depressions constructed in the soil to harvest water, reduce runoff, increase infiltration, break soil sealing and crusting, capture organic material and seed where sheet erosion is predominant in degraded, low gradient hillslopes. The opening of the semi-circular pond is up-slope for runoff water to flow into the â€Ķ

Restoration of degraded rangeland
technologies

Restoration of degraded rangeland [South Africa]

Eradication of invasive species and revegetation of degraded rangelands by different treatments, including oversowing with grass seed mixture, supplementing with lime, cattle dung, and "brush packing" (laid out branches).
