Answer 1

Mulching-A covering, as of straw, compost, or plastic sheeting, spread on the ground around plants to prevent excessive evaporation or erosion, enrich the soil.

Counter barriers-Contour barriers are contour strips which intercept downslope flowing water and soil particles. These barriers slow down the water movement and reduce its erosive force. They also filter out and trap many of the suspended soil particles, keeping them from being washed out of the field.

Terrace farming-Terrace farming is a type of farming that was invented by the Inca people who lived in the South American mountains. In terrace farming the slopes of the mountains are cut into terraces to prevent soil erosion and soil degredation.

Intercropping- Intercropping is a multiple cropping practice involving growing two or more crops in proximity.

Counter ploughing- It is ploughing along the contours of the land in order to minimize soil erosion. In this the land is ploughed into counters it checks the wind and also running water and thus prevents soil erosion.

Shelter Belts-Shelter belts are rows of trees, usually along fence lines. They are planted mainly to protect animals or crops from cold winds, but also to give shade in hot weather.
Suppose to protect your home trees are planted as fencing.
