Clear-cutting removes the tree cover, which can lead to increased erosion and soil disturbance. Nutrients that were once held in the vegetation can be washed away by rainwater, which can negatively impact water quality downstream. Re-vegetation and soil conservation efforts are needed to help restore nutrient balance in the watershed.

What happens to soil if you add lime?
Adding lime to soil helps to neutralize acidity, improve the soil structure, and provide essential nutrients like calcium to plants. It can also boost microbial activity and enhance the availability of other nutrients in the soil.
What happens to the dead leaves that fall to the ground?
Dead leaves that fall to the ground undergo the process of decomposition. They are broken down by decomposers such as fungi, bacteria, and other organisms, which recycle the nutrients back into the soil. This helps enrich the soil and provides nutrients for new plant growth.
How can slope of the soil affect the watershed?
The slope of the soil can affect the watershed by influencing the speed and direction of water runoff. Steeper slopes can lead to faster runoff, increasing the risk of erosion and flash flooding. Gentle slopes allow for better water infiltration and reduce the risk of water runoff, helping to maintain water quality in the watershed.
What is soil depletion?
Soil depletion is when the soil no longer has any nutrients needed for living organisms. This happens in agriculture with planting fields so farmers change what fields they plant on every year.
How does soil affect watersheds?
Soil affects watersheds by influencing the amount of water that can be absorbed or infiltrated into the ground versus running off into waterways. Different types of soil have varying levels of permeability, which can impact water quality and the overall health of a watershed. Soil erosion can also occur from water runoff, leading to sedimentation and pollution in water bodies within the watershed.
What happens to the animal waste that is kept in a lagoon?
The waste is returned to the soil as nutrients.
What happens to the product of decay?
The chemicals and nutrients from decaying fauna and flora returns to the soil.
What happens when plants grow in an area and what takes place in the soil?
What happens in the soil is called germination and what happens is the fertile seed is planted and the roots go down into the ground to collect the nutrients for when the plants pop out of the ground
What has the author N Gil written?
N. Gil has written: 'Watershed development with special reference to soil and water conservation' -- subject(s): Soil conservation, Water conservation, Watershed management
How are nutrients passed between the environment and organisms?
Nutrients are constantly being passed between organisms and the environment. This happens when decomposers break down the dead organisms putting it back in the soil.
Which biotic feature of a watershed helps prevent flooding?
wetlands,(soil)
What happens to soil if you add lime?
Adding lime to soil helps to neutralize acidity, improve the soil structure, and provide essential nutrients like calcium to plants. It can also boost microbial activity and enhance the availability of other nutrients in the soil.
An abiotic element of a watershed is?
bank erosion
What happens when you plant crops in the same field over and over again?
All the nutrients get absorbed by the plants making the field lose more nutrients in the soil year after year until the soil is not nutrient enough to grow plants in.
What happens to nutrients inside a living thing when it dies in a rain forest?
The decomposers in the forest will take all the nutrients from the animal and return it back to the soil for it to be used again.
Does ground soil have more nutrients than potting soil?
yes regular soil has more nutrients because of worms and how their slime helps the soil stay moisturised and grow more nutrients but potting soil gives plants more nutrients to help them grow faster. Regular soil has more nutrients and potting soil doubles the amount
What nutrients do flowers get from soil?
Soil
