Erosion control fabrics are designed to stabilize soil on barren ground, usually slopes and hiUs. These fabrics, usually woven or nonwoven, are designed to maintain the soil and prevent its ronoval until vegetation can be established, which will prevent further erosion. Ideally, the fabrics will biodegrade so that removal of them upon restabilization of the soil, usually within six months to two years, depending upon the climate, will not be necessary.

San Angeles spaceport was situated on the southern rim of the metropolis. A square ten kilometres to a side, a miniature city chiselled from machinery. Vast barren swathes of carbon concrete had been poured over the levelled earth and then divided up into roads, taxi aprons, and landing pads. Hundreds of line company hangars and cargo terminals hosted a business which accounted for a fifth of the entire planet s ground-toorbit traffic movements. 

Herbicides kill plants. They may be selective and kill only a particular group of plants, such as the broad-leaved plants or the grasses or they may be non-selective, making the ground barren of all plant life.
