Overgrazing and deforestation contribute towards soil infertility. Give reason
Answers
Answer:
because in soil the gapes are filled with watch water when rain
Answer:
Overgrazing and Deforestation leads to soil infertility in many ways like :
# Removal of vegetation from an area reduces the amount of humans content in the soil.
# The plants/ Trees act as a protective layer to the soil. They reduce the impact of rain drops on the soil as rainwater would easily erode the top layer of the soil.
# Reduces the rate of evaporation of water which would lead to a decrease in the amount of rainfall in the area and this would result in accelerated deforestation.
# The hooves of the animals would "disturb" the soil layer as it becomes more easier for the wind to remove the finer soil particles.
# The roots hold the soil together and if the roots are removed, then this might result in sheet erosion.
# The raindrops would fall with pressure to the ground. And if there is no enough vegetation then this would result in splash erosion.
