Question Cutting down trees on a large scale imports the quality of the soil. Why do you think it is so?
Cutting down trees on a large scale impacts the quality of soil. Soil erosion is caused when the trees are cut down on a large scale then the top soil gets exposed and becomes loose because there are no roots to bond soil and no cover to soften the effect of falling rain. Blowing wind and flowing water can then carry away this loose soil easily causing soil erosion.
