Surface Mulch Application is a surface cover method that involves the placement of organic or inorganic materials on the soil surface to modify microclimatic conditions, suppress weeds, and conserve soil moisture, distinguished from other surface cover techniques by its specific use of fragmented or sheet materials applied in a non-living layer.
