- Helps in soil disintegration control: Through progress of soil quality and tie soil particles.
- Helps in containing water run offs.
Elements which impact the plan of Green Belts
- Climatic factors, for example, Wind Velocity
- Assimilation limit of the biological system
- Height and covering of trees
- Topography
- Size of land accessible
- Distance from source
- Soil and Water quality
- Nature and reach out of contaminations
Specific Species Utilized in Green Belt
Plants which neutralize smell are:
- Bushes with gentle yet dynamic aroma.

Green Belt Improvement Guidelines in India
In India, we don’t have any selective green belt strategy or green belt guideline, as accessible in different nations. In any case, based on other ecological strategies and Acts, we do have certain regions of land as green belts where no mechanical and private activities is supported. The Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) has taken up various activities and has consistently advanced incorporation of ecological issues in formative tasks.

The EIA has thought of a guided manual where building, development, municipalities, businesses and territory advancement projects should adjust to specific guidelines and guidelines that do
Following are the central issues of the manual which should be trailed by all businesses prior to setting up their units in specific territories:

- Space ought to be made accessible for capacity of strong squanders so these could be reused whenever required.
- Lay-out of an undertaking should adjust to the scene of the region
- Planting of trees close by of streets is compulsory.
