Pode se dizer que a cobertura de solo é excencial (tanto a cobertura verde como a cobertura morta) ambos auxiliam no processo de agregação de materia orgânica no solo, combatendo o processo de compactação, perda de umidade e possiveis erosões. toda via na fertilidade do solo, as planatas usadas para cobertura possibilitam a melhora na microbiota do solo, e tais microorganismos que passam a se desenvolver naquele espaço começam a ascelerar o processo de assimiliação da materia orgânica (decomposição) liberando particulas minerais de fácil assimilação para as plantas.
Green manuring can deliver considerable amount of nitrogen and increase the LAI of crops. when a gardener turns them into the soil to provide organic matter and nutrients. Green manures include legumes such as vetch, clover, beans and peas; grasses such as annual ryegrass, oats, rapeseed, winter wheat and winter rye; and buckwheat. green manures significantly help improve soil structure. Organic matter binds soil particles together and creates soil aggregates. clusters of larger particles enable formation of pores, which allows for proper soil aeration, water retention and nutrient distribution. Greem manure can allow it to warm up more quickly and may aid cultivations, although it may also hinder the germination of a subsequent crop. Increased soil organic matter can help to improve water holding capacity and also crops remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and helps build soil organic matter after termination.
Soil health is a comprehensive term and green manure cover crops add to the soil health quite "comprehensively". These improve the soil structure, water holding capacity, aeration, soil porosity and the properties like these. Above all these can improve the microfauna and the microbial count which can have great positive impacts on soil health
