Abstract
  • Soil erosion and sedimentation are one of the important challenges in the implementation of development projects. One of the problems faced by project proponents to implement soil erosion and sedimentation control is the financial aspect. To overcome this problem, alternatives for the use of biological resources and biomass can be used. This study aims to identify biological resources that can be used for soil erosion and sedimentation control. This study uses a systematic literature review method related to aspects of soil erosion control. This study found that resources in the project site, such as topsoil reuse, vegetation, and ground cover plants such as creepers and legumes, can effectively reduce soil erosion and sedimentation. By using biomass resources at project site it will further reduce the cost in soil erosion control.
