Erosion, this is great Options

I read in a gamepro magizine recently that the plant life grows...actually grows,and they have develeped some kind of erosion system.That is awsome.Any comments?

Maybe the foliage just slowly blends into a different sprite over seasons, such as yellower and shorter as it gets colder, like the northern grass sprites appear further south for a while. If they programed the plants to behave to certain weathers, then all that is left is changing the appearance to a sprite that already exists. Maybe while a player "waits" or enters an indoor area they change.
It's possible, but who knows.
Erosion will definately not take place during the game.
