How deforestation leads to decrease in soil fertility ?

Comments

  • edited January 2015
    Deforestation → Loss of soil moisture content and humus → Fertile top soil erosion by wind

    Loss of moisture → Draws up salty brine by capillary action from below → ↑ soil salinity

    Combined effect of loss of top soil, humus and moisture and ↑ salinity → drop in fertility
