• Forests are rich in vegetation. Herbs, shrubs and trees in the forests hold the top most layer firmly by their roots. This does not allow natural forces like wind and water to carry away the top most fertile layer of the soil easily. Hence, forests prevent soil erosion.
- Trees reduce the rate of erosion by: protecting the soil from the impact of rain. transpiring large amounts of water, which counteracts very wet soil. binding soil to sloping land with their roots.
