台灣地區主要水土保持應用草類，包括百喜草（大葉品系、小葉品系），類地毯草、地毯草、竹節草、假儉草、兩耳草、百慕達草、奧古斯丁草、克育草等，另外部分芝草屬之草類，早期雖未列為水土保持草種，但廣泛應用為庭園及一般綠地之草皮草種。本文茲就上述草種在水土保持及環境綠化、保育上之用途分別說明其效益與價值。另外，由於有關水土保持草類之習性與其對環境之適應性等資料分散且不夠完整，因此本文亦針對近年來有關水土保持草類之試驗及研究加以闡述，以供水土保持工作之推廣及植生復育參考之依據。

Main soil-conserving grasses, including Bahia grass (A4 and A33 strains), carpetgrass, tropical-carpet grass, love grass, centipede grass, sour grass, Bermuda grass, St.Augustine grass, kikuyu grass, etc., were applied in Taiwan area. In addition, someZoysia species, were not to be used for soil-converting before, but were used as turfgrasses or for greening area. This writing explained the character, utility and appliedvalue for environmental conservation of those grasses. Besides, for integrated thedatum about the adaptabilities and eco-physiological responses of grasses toenvironment stresses, the review of reference and relative field experiment had alsoidentified, and the knowledge on the potential for reclamation and for greeningextension had mentioned detailedly.
