Soil Erosion Process And Impact on Quality of Soil
Geography: Soil Erosion Process, Impact on Soil Fertility, Bio Diversity, Forestry, Harvesting
Soil erosion is a natural process which is often caused by the flow of water and wind, it is used for human activities such as agriculture, construction work, cattle grazing, grazing of grass Due to burning and forestry harvesting, it spreads very rapidly.
Both water and soil are being preserved through integrated treatment methods. Some of the most commonly used methods are usually two types of treatment being used.
Field treatment involves the treatment of the whole land of the area.
Treatment of natural water chains (drains) is included under drainage management.
Excessive use of fertilizer: It makes the soil soaked and soils susceptible to erosion.
Excessive salts and water: High irrigation conditions result in water accumulation, resulting in salination of soil.
the loss of natural nutrients and possible fertilizers directly affect crop emergence, growth, and yield. Seeds can be disturbed or removed and pesticides can be carried off.
The soil quality, structure, stability, and texture are also affected, which in turn affect the holding capacity of the soil.
What is not often seen are the "off-site" effects. Eroded soil can inhibit the growth of seeds, bury seedlings, contribute to road damage, and even contaminate water sources and recreational areas.
