How does loss of soil fertility exacerbate soil erosion? What will be an ideal response?
Loss of fertility reduces the amount of plant cover and thus increases temperature due to loss of the
cooling effects of plants and excess water. Without binding, irrigation and aeration of soil by plants,
soil becomes exposed and hardened and thus more susceptible to large losses from sheet runoff.
