Question

How does trees protect soil??​

Answer 1

Answer:

Trees prevent soil erosion in several ways:

They intercept rainfall which stops 'splash erosion'

They reduce the amount of water in soil through transpiration.

Their roots bind soil to sloping ground.

They break the wind, preventing it from blowing soil away.

Answer 2

Answer:

Tree roots hold soil in place, reducing erosion. In these ways, trees lessen the force of storms and reduce the amount of runoff into sewers, streams, and rivers, improving water quality. One hundred mature trees can intercept about 100,000 gallons of rainfall per year.
