a:) A mulch is a layer of material applied to the surface of soil. Reasons for applying mulch include conservation of soil moisture, improving fertility and health of the soil, reducing weed growth and enhancing the visual appeal of the area.
b:) Soil are used to build barriers along counters. ... Barriers built to follow contours, such as walls, mounds, lines of grass or brush, trenches, prevent soil from being carried away by wind and rain.
c:) a line of trees or shrubs planted to protect an area, especially a field of crops, from fierce weather.
d:) In agriculture, a terrace is a piece of sloped plane that has been cut into a series of successively receding flat surfaces or platforms, which resemble steps, for the purposes of more effective farming.

(a) Mulching – Bare ground between plants is covered with a layer of organic matter like straw. It helps to retail soil moisture. (b) Contour Ploughing – Ploughing along contours can decrease the flow of water down the slopes. (c) Shelter Belts – Rows of trees are planted to create shelter. Thus, the speed of wind is reduced. (d) Contour Barriers – Stones, grass and soil are used to make barriers. Trenches are made in front of the barriers to collect water. Hope it helps Thanks..
