Definición

  • Soil conservation refers to the actions that humans undertake to ameliorate the effects of accelerated erosion caused by the clearing of vegetation for agriculture or for other types of human activity. Whenever humans clear a new environment of its protective vegetation cover, the soil is exposed to an increase in the erosional effects of rain, flowing water, and wind.
