Soil erosion is the process where the top layer of soil is removed due to natural forces such as water, wind, and ice, or human activities like agriculture and deforestation. This phenomenon not only leads to the loss of fertile land but also contributes to environmental issues like sedimentation in waterways and increased greenhouse gas emissions, as disturbed soils release stored carbon back into the atmosphere.
