Question

What is the role of forests in soil and water conservation ?

Answer 1

Answer:

the roots of the trees hold up the soil so that soil erosion cannot happen . the trees send water vapour to form cloud by the process of transpiration which brings us rains .

Answer 2

The role of the forest is to reduce the splash effect and disaggregation of the soil structure.

• The forest vegetation protects the soil against water impact thus reducing the splash effect and disaggregation of the soil structure.
• In marshy regions, forests have a corrective role since they help to lower the ground-water level.
• The roots of the trees hold up the soil in the ground, which prevents soil erosion from occurring by water.
