“…Cost is an important factor that impacts ECP selection (Fay et al 2012;Sidhu et al 2015). However, multiple factors affect the cost of erosion control materials, including product quantity, weight, and distance shipped, all of which are dependent on the extent and location of the project (Porch 2019).…”

Figure 1 (a) A live western rat snake (Pantherophis obsoletus) encountered during a field survey of erosion control blankets at a completed Texas Department of Transportation construction site on April 30, 2018. The snake was entangled in multiple apertures of ECB S32 DB (2-layer erosion control blanket with fused, polypropylene netting) and had to be cut out of the mesh netting.

“…As operações de manutenção normalmente consistem de podas leves e da remoção pontual da vegetação indesejável (Fay et al, 2012). A execução de podas pesadas pode ser necessária para redução da competição por luz ou para estimular o crescimento de tecidos fisiologicamente mais jovens das plantas no sistema biotécnico.…”

“…Estacas vivas, leiras de ramos vivos, paliçada de estacas vivas, dentre outras técnicas são utilizadas na Bioengenharia de Solos para a proteção de taludes e controle de erosão em margens de corpos d'água. Quando plantas com capacidade de vegetação propagativa por estaqueamento de material lenhoso são instaladas no solo, ocorre o enraizamento e lançamento de folhas e, com o passar do tempo, a vegetação desenvolvida se transforma no componente estrutural de maior relevância na proteção e estabilização do solo (Fay et al, 2012).…”

RESUMO: A Bioengenharia de Solos diz respeito às técnicas em que elementos vivos (vegetação) são associadas à elementos inertes para o controle de processos erosivos. Usualmente os materiais naturais são ambientalmente mais compatíveis, porém a crescente aplicação de materiais industrializados como elemento inerte se justifica em vista das suas inúmeras vantagens, como o controle de qualidade e a mitigação imediata da erosão. Este artigo busca apresentar uma síntese do estado da arte das Técnicas de Bioengenharia utilizadas para o controle de erosões para proteção de taludes e margens de corpos d'água, com destaque para o uso dos materiais geossintéticos. São apresentadas ainda as vantagens e limitações dos Sistemas Biotécnicos e os cuidados necessários nas fases de planejamento e manutenção dos projetos. Conclui-se que a Bioegenharia de Solos é uma técnica com grande potencial de aplicação no Brasil, com vantagens econômicas e ambientais frente aos métodos convencionais de engenharia. Resta, contudo, a condução de estudos mais aprofundados acerca das propriedades biotécnicas das plantas nativas brasileiras de modo a se otimizar o desempenho dos projetos.

“…As part of the process, the landowner voluntarily allowed a portion of their land to be established as a riparian buffer where no farm activities would occur. The CBWM organization and landowner agreed on 'live staking' erosion control as a restoration option, a process whereby live cuttings (stakes) from plants are planted in the ground to root and hold soil in place [80]. Permits for conducting the project were obtained from provincial and federal regulating agencies.…”

Abstract:In Canada, environmental monitoring has been the responsibility of government for decades; however, funding cutbacks have left many agencies unable to provide comprehensive coverage. This has stimulated a rise in community-based water monitoring (CBWM) organizations. These organizations, operating at multiple scales, have tasked themselves with monitoring aquatic ecosystems. Additionally, they often engage in restoration projects stemming from their monitoring work. Despite the growing abundance of CBWM organizations, there is uncertainty as to whether their activities lead to aquatic ecosystem benefits. A thematic analysis of photographic and qualitative interview data was employed to examine restoration projects conducted by five CBWM organizations, and the projects' potential impact on source waters. Findings show that while they are conducting activities that show physical change, which is indicative of ecosystem improvement, examples of measurable responses within aquatic ecosystems remain rare. Monitoring, restoration, and source water protection processes are challenged by a lack of funding, capacity, and monitoring procedures. Funding, particularly, restricted the extent to which monitoring could be conducted and influenced project scope and scale. This leads to a lack of capacity to conduct large-scale restoration and rigorous scientific monitoring. Consequently, our findings highlight the issues with detecting effects of small-scale projects at the watershed scale.
