Soil Erosion
Soil Erosion
- Overstocking
~Keeping many animals in a small place is called over stalking.
~Too many animals eat a lot of grass and that leaves very little to cover the
soil.
~When animals eat a lot of grass and leave a little, we say the land is
overgrazed.
Soil Conservation
- Taking care of something that it will not be destroyed is called conservation.
Soil can be conserved by;
- Not cutting down trees or burning grass. Trees and plants protect the soil
from being washed away.
- We can plant more trees and shrubs.
- We should not let too many animals graze in an area.
- We can add compost or manure to the soil before we plant crops. This will
keep the soil healthy.
