how to prevent soil erosion

Dear Student,

The roots of plants hold the soil together and reduce erosion. They also help in indirectly preventing erosion by reducing the force of rainfall before it falls to the ground. Thus, the cutting of trees and deforestation increases the rate of erosion .

Hope this helps.

Best Wishes!

Soil erosion has affected land all over the world from small residential landscaped properties to large forests and deserts. Soil erosion is described as soil particles being shifted around due to the devastating impact of rainfall, wind and ice melt. It is a natural process but in most cases human activity speeds up the process. Once the soil particles shift around to unknown areas it begins to cause gullies, cracks and severe dryness to the soil. Soil erosion will affect plants, flowers, vegetation and crops because the soil does not contain enough nutrients or energy to help them growth healthily.
