Marisa noticed that every time it rains, some of the topsoil in her yard erodes away. Which of the following actions would be best for Marisa to take in order to conserve the soil in her yard? A. pour asphalt or concrete over the soil so that rain water cannot touch it B. pour loose soil on top of the yard before every rain shower C. remove all plants from the yard D. plant a groundcover, such as grass or clover, in her yard

thomaster (thomaster):

they all would do the job but it's best to plant a top soil like grass

thomaster (thomaster):

noo C won't but the rest will :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B can never do the job because you cant know when it ll shower so take B out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

removing all plants means you dont want to plant so it defeats the purpose

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes D is the right choice and is often used in agro forestry so you have your answer

thomaster (thomaster):

You don't need to know when or will rain as long as you pour a new layer of loods soil after

thomaster (thomaster):

Every shower

thomaster (thomaster):

But yes D is best

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D is in fact best.
