See chapter Long-term geotextile degradation mechanisms and exposed lifetime predictions. 

The key properties of geotextiles used in reinforced soil applications are introduced with short explanations. For details about the tests mentioned here, see chapters Hydraulic properties, behavior and testing of geotextiles Long-term geotextile degradation mechanisms and exposed lifetime predictions and Geotextiles used in separation. 

Synthetic spun fabrics these materials may also be sold as "landscape fabrics" or occasionally "geotextiles," for long-term weed control. They allow water to permeate through them into the soil, but can degrade where exposed to the sun, so cover with a loose mulch to protect them from the light.
