Question

it is the clearing or burning of parts of the forest which contributes to soil erosion

Answer 1

Answer:

Deforestation reduces the content of water in the soil and groundwater as well as atmospheric moisture. The dry soil leads to lower water intake for the trees to extract. Deforestation reduces soil cohesion, so that erosion, flooding and landslides ensue.

Answer 2

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.
