The vetiver eco - engineering , difined as planting vetiver grass ( V etiveria ziz anioides ) with local species of trees , shrubs , herbs and lianas by simple necessary engineering structures , is used to con trol soil erosion and rehabilitate degraded environments. All experiments and applications indicated that the vetiver eco - engineering provided better slope stabilization , environment mitigation and beautification than just vetiver was planted alone. For dozens of years , almost all studies and obser vations on vetiver grass ( V etiveria ziz anioides) have indicated that the perennial had wide adaptation to the environment and strong resistance to adversity. Apart from its great success as a biological measure of soil and moisture conservation , the vetiver eco - engineering also has a multitude of other excellent functions. It can increase nutrients and moisture in soil ,improve agricultural micro - cli mates , recover deteriorated eco - systems , and ameliorate polluted lands. Therefore , extending the vetiver eco - engineering , particularly in mountain villages , is an efficient measure for realizing the rural sustainable development. It has been testified that agricultural ecosystems , in which vetiver is acted as a pivot , may produce tangibly ecological , economic and social benefits. Ob
