What are the effects of deforestation on soil?​

Answer»

Soil erosion, while a natural process, accelerates with DEFORESTATION. Trees and plants act as a natural barrier to slow water as it RUNS off the land. Roots bind the soil and PREVENT it from washing away. The absence of vegetation causes the topsoil to erode more QUICKLY. It's difficult for plants to grow in the LESS nutritious soil that remains.
