Deforestation is one of the major causes of soil erosion. Plants keep soils bound in locks of roots, and thus, prevent erosion. They also add humus to the soil by shedding leaves and twigs.

Laterite ores also were the early major source of nickel. Laterite is a soil and rock type rich in iron and aluminium and is commonly considered to have formed in hot and wet tropical regions. ... They develop by intensive and long-lasting weathering and underlying parent rock. Hope this answer is beneficial for you .

Deforestation is the removal of forest from land to convert as a non forest. Deforestation can involve conversionof forest land to farms, ranches or urban use. The most concentrated deforestation occurs in the tropical rainforests. About 31% of Earth's land surface is covered with forests.

Between 2000 and 2012,2.3 million sq km of forests around the world was cut down. As a result of deforestation, only 6.2 million sq km remain of the original 16 million sq kmof tropical rainforest that formerly covered the earth.An area the size of a football pitch is cleared from the Amazon rainforest in every minute with 136 million acres of rainforest cleared for animal agriculture overall.
