How does deforestation change the soil properties?
Deforestation causes major changes in soil properties. Less vegetation leads to soil erosion. The top layer of the soil gets exposed and the humus and nutrients are removed. Deforestation also reduces water holding capacity of soil and nutrients are also drained off. Soil becomes dry and looses its fertility. Loose soil gets converted into sand and a fertile land, may be converted into a desert.
