Hola a todos,
Estoy traduciendo un texto sobre un sistema de plantación vertical. La empresa que la vende describe aquí sus principales características y ventajas. Me he encontrado con dificultades a la hora de traducir lo siguiente:
Manto vegetal.
Contexto: Con X creamos jardines o huertos sin necesidad de suelo, aumentamos así el manto vegetal de nuestras ciudades y contribuímos a mejorar la calidad del aire de nuestro entorno.
With X, we create gardens and vegetable patches without the need for soil, thereby increasing the (?) in our cities and contributing to the improvement of air quality in our environment.
Many thanks for reading my post
Jack
