Wind, water erosion. The soil is blown away or washed away.
It paid farmers to plant crops that protected the soil.
Erosion
Ground cover
More the plant cover , less chances will be their for soilerosion. Because plant roots held the soil tight.
When soil is exposed to the elements because of plant cover loss, this is called desertification. This process makes soil easily removable by wind and rain.
plant then first plant then first
Farmers will plant trees to stop eroion, thus the roots cover the soil
Cover crops are part of crop rotation and are used to help replace lost soil nutrients, and to prevent soil erosion during the off season.
