About this book

Soil health is of much significance to famers and the populace that rely on farming for food and business. There are a few obstacles to combat soil erosion, however there are solutions for forestall it also. Soil erosion is a natural process involving wearing out of the topsoil, notwithstanding human activities have sped up the cycle. It is generally caused by the eradication of vegetation, or any activity causing the ground to become dry. Grazing, farming, mining, and industrial development are some of the factors that cause soil erosion. The impacts of soil erosion are not simply land destruction. It has prompted a sharp increase in environmental pollution and sedimentation in streams that obstructs the water bodies bringing about a decline in aquatic life forms. Degraded lands lose their water holding capacity bringing about floods. This volume contends that soil erosion is a main trigger for desertification. It changes the livable areas into deserts. Deforestation and damaging utilization of land further deteriorates the situation. This likewise prompts loss of biodiversity, soil degradation, and ecosystem changes.
