What impact does weed barrier fabric have on soil?
PP woven weed barrier fabric has some positive impacts on soil, such as:
It improves soil structure, prevents soil erosion and compaction, and increases soil organic matter and nutrient content.
It regulates soil temperature and moisture, reduces water evaporation and loss, and maintains a suitable soil moisture state.
It inhibits weed growth, reduces the use of pesticides and herbicides, and lowers the risk of soil pollution.
It promotes root growth, increases root surface area and absorption capacity, and improves plant resistance.
PP woven weed barrier fabric also has some negative impacts on soil, such as:
It prevents organic matter or soil on top of the fabric from biodegrading in the soil, which leads to an unhealthier soil structure.
It affects soil microbial activity, may inhibit the number and activity of some beneficial microorganisms, but also may inhibit the infection and transmission of some harmful microorganisms.
It allows weeds to eventually grow on top of or through the fabric, making their removal difficult.
