Soil erosion refers to the removal of the top layer of the soil due to various agents such as water, wind etc. Few of the methods to prevent soil erosion are:
1) Various plants, trees, shrubs and grass should be planted as the roots of these plants holds the soil thus preventing the soil from getting eroded.
2) Windbreakers made from evergreen trees and bushes should be planted across the land which help to prevent erosion by preventing wind from blowing across it.
3) Cover crops should be grown on the land during the off season which helps to prevent soil erosion by holding the soil and not letting it get eroded by wind or water easily.
4) Topsoil should be covered by mulch which helps the land to retain moisture and prevent the top soil from getting eroded.
