Question

why it is essential to prevent soil erosion and how can it be done​

Answer 1

Answer:

Clearing vegetation removes the protection of plants and roots needed to lock soil in place. ... When the topsoil is eroded from an area, that area loses its most nutrient-rich layer, and therefore soil quality is reduced. Poor soil quality means smaller crop yields and may even wash away seeds and small plants

Answer 2

1. It is essential to prevent because Soil erosion affects soil health and productivity by removing the highly fertile topsoil and exposing the remaining soil.

• Soil erosion can be prevented by afforestation (large scale growing of forest trees in place of cut down trees). ... And this tree cover will prevent soil erosion of the forest land. 3) Soil erosion can be prevented by increasing the green cover (vegetation) around us by planting more trees and plants ourselves.
