“Soil erosion is triggered by:”

"Deforestation the removal of trees and vegetation is a primary cause of soil erosion. Trees’ roots stabilize soil preventing displacement by wind or water. Their removal exposes soil to runoff degrading agricultural land and disrupting ecosystems. Deforestation’s impact extends to reduced soil fertility and increased sedimentation in water bodies. Addressing this issue through reforestation and sustainable land management is critical for environmental conservation highlighting the interconnectedness of ecosystems and human activities in maintaining soil health."
