Erosion and deforestation
Learning objectives
- To illustrate the link between deforestation and the erosion of soils.
- To understand the impact of deforestation on the environment (ecosystem, climate, landslides…..)
Vegetation maintains soils and prevents erosion. It plays a major role in the water cycle and directly influences the climate.
Soils deprived of vegetation are washed away by rain. The local climate is perturbed. The environmental consequences are considerable.
