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.
