Question

how many responsible for increase in the soil erosion​

Answer 1

Deforestation for Agriculture Is One of the Top Causes of Soil Erosion. The increasingly high demand of a growing population for commodities such as coffee, soybean, palm oil or wheat is clearing land for agriculture.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Main Causes And Impacts Of Soil Erosion

The most effective way of minimizing erosion is to guarantee a permanent surface cover on the soil surface, such as trees, pasture, or meadow. However, compared to original forest soils, soils in pasture fields and croplands have less capacity to hold up and are more susceptible to erosion. These soils also have less capacity to absorb water, which makes flooding (and its economic, social, and environmental impacts) more common.

1. Deforestation for Agriculture Is One of the Top Causes of Soil Erosion

Explanation:

Stopping Soil Erosion is so Important

According to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), some key roles of soils are:

Soils help fight and adapt to climate change by collecting and storing carbon and reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in the atmosphere;

Resilient soils allow for water infiltration through the soil, filtering pollutants and preventing them from leaching into the groundwater;

Soils capture and store water for crops, whereas degraded soils retain less water;

Reducing surface evaporation and increasing water use efficiency and productivity are also processes enhanced by healthy soils;

Soils provide fiber, fuel, medicinal products, and other ecosystem services;

Soils are home to 1/4 of biodiversity and they are a key part of the global cycles that make all life possible.
