Soil erosion is the displacement of the upper layer of soil, one form of soil degradation.
Causes:This natural process is caused by the dynamic activity of erosive agents, that is, water, ice, snow, air, plants, animals, and humans.
Effects: some of the greatest effects of soil erosion include: Loss of topsoil: Obviously, this is the biggest effect of soil erosion. Because topsoil is so fertile, if it is removed, this can cause serious harm to farmer's crops or the ability to effectively work their land.
Measures:
☆Plant grass and shrubs.
☆Add mulch or rocks.
☆Use mulch matting to hold vegetation on slopes.
☆Put down fiber logs.
☆Build retaining walls.
☆Improve drainage.
☆Reduce watering if possible.
☆Avoid soil compaction.
