depletion
organic materials - if it means minerals then process is called mining.
The removal of organic materials from the soil is called "decomposition." It involves the breakdown of plant and animal matter by microorganisms, which recycles nutrients back into the ecosystem. This process is essential for soil health and fertility.

Clear-cutting is a method of biomass removal that has the most adverse impact on the physical properties of soil since it involves the complete removal of trees and vegetation, leading to soil erosion, compaction, and decreased organic matter content. This can cause disruption to the soil structure, decrease water infiltration rates, and ultimately lead to soil degradation and loss of soil fertility.
The zone of leaching is found in the E horizon of soil. This horizon is characterized by the removal of minerals, organic matter, and other solutes due to the downward movement of water through the soil profile.
Deforestation can harm soil fertility by exposing the soil to erosion from wind and water, which removes essential nutrients and organic matter. Trees help to maintain soil structure and moisture levels, and their removal can lead to decreased soil quality and fertility. Additionally, deforestation disrupts the nutrient cycle by removing vegetation that contributes organic matter and nutrients back into the soil.
Removal of nutrients from soil is called leaching
sometimes herbivores are responsible for the removal of soil .how?
it's soil that's organic.
Organic soil is rich in organic matter from decomposed plant and animal material, providing nutrients for plants. Mineral soil lacks organic matter and is primarily composed of weathered rocks and minerals. Organic soil tends to be more fertile and retain moisture better than mineral soil.
The organic level which is the uppermost level of the soil.
