Deforestation can affect topsoil in two significant ways. First leaves and branches that fall from trees as well as fallen trees themselves decompose. This decomposed matter is a major component of topsoil. If an area is deforested then much less new topsoil will be formed. Secondly, when an area is deforested wind and rain can cause the unprotected topsoil to be blown or washed away.
This will depend on what is under the topsoil.

Overgrazing does not destroy topsoil so much as it decimates all the vegetation. When sheep graze they tend to snip off the grass lower to the base than cattle. This is sometimes a contributor to overgrazing, which then leaves the land bare, and then the wind and the rain blow away the topsoil. Then the result is that crops don't grow as well, it's a much more complex problem.
