i believe the answer is Cover crops. Cover crops are types of crops planted with a main purpose of managing soil erosion, soil fertility, soil quality, water weeds, pests, diseases, biodiversity and wildlife in an agriecosystem. Therefore, in this case the cover crops would prevent erosion by water and wind. By planting cover crops we help stabilize the soil and protect the top soil layer by not exposing it to erosion by water and wind.
