Weathering : Breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces
Cypress Knee : An adaptation that some trees use to survive in wetlands
Gleyed : Very slick, not good for plants to grow in
Grassed Waterway : Shaping and establishing grass in a natural drainage way to prevent to prevent gullies from farming
Contour Farming : Farming with row patterns nearly level around the hill- not up and down the hill
Wind Break : One or more rows of trees planted to provide shelter from the wind
Terrace : An earthen embankment around the hillside that stops water flow and stores it or guides it off the field
Cover Crop : A small grain crop used in the fall to uptake any leftover nitrogen from the root zone
Crop Rotation : Changing the crops grown by the field
Buttressed : The base of the tree is widen for support
Grade Control Structure : A structure built across drainage way to prevent gully erosion
Critical Area Planting : Planting grass or other vegetation to protect a badly eroded area
Crop Residue Management : Leaving last year's crop residue on the soil surface
Vegetation Filter Strips : Strips of vegetation that filter runoff and retain contaminants before they reach water
Groundwater Recharge : When wetlands soak up water from water during storms and slowly release it
Eutrophication : Excessive nutrients in the water causes plants to grow faster
Anoxic : When water pushes out the air
Rhizomes : An adaptation plants use to reproduce and grow in wetlands
Perimeter Control : Basins and traps are essentially holding ponds for running water and they relay on the process of settling to control soil loss
Temporary Stabilization : Designed to reduce the susceptibility of soil to erosive forces
