What action can be taken to prevent soil erosion?
Use plants to provide windbreak, absorb water, and trap soil within their root mass to prevent erosion. Native trees or shrubs on slopes or stream beds may need to be mulched to protect the roots until they get established. In agricultural areas, planting cover crops or perennial crops provide year-round protection from the elements and prevent erosion. Many farmers now practice no-till methods of cultivation, leaving the some of the roots of the previous season's crop in the soil to compost and hold the soil while the current season's crop is planted.

What is the effect of a farmer planting wheat the same year in the same field?
Soil depletion. The soil's nutrients would be "mined" out of the soil if the same crop was planted in the same feild year after year. That's why it's more healthier to plant a cereal crop in the field one year, then the next have a pulse crop in like lentils, peas, canola, or whatever pulse/leguminous crop that will grow well in that area.

How can crop rotation improve?
Pest control is the main benefit of crop rotation. If a farmer plants one type of crop and swaps it out when it starts to attract a certain type of bug it will be awhile before more are attracted to the new plant Crop rotation can also be used to replenish nutrients in the soil. For example, a crop that takes a lot of nitrogen can be planted one year, and the next year one that replenishes nitrogen can be planted.
