Abstract
Grass and legume mixture is primarily used for erosion control and minimisation of run-off volume. It is a technique for quickly covering the surface of a disturbed or degraded site. Native revegetation is different from temporary reseeding, which a practice is used to provide short term cover for a site scheduled for future disturbance.
