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.
