Pluto is truly a well-trained dog. Like his master Mickey, he can get into a large amount of trouble but has enough brains to escape the situation. He acts as Mickey's sidekick, best friend, conscience in some occasions, and pet.
Deforestation causes some of the worst soil erosion. Forests keep soil where it is. The root structures of trees and other plants hold it in place, the natural mulch of leaves prevents soil from being exposed to the erosive forces of wind and rain. The canopy helps soften the impact of heavy rains.
Soil degraded and lost When natural vegetation is cleared and when farmland is ploughed, the exposed topsoil is often blown away by wind or washed away by rain. Erosion due to soy production, for example, sees Brazil lose 55 million tons of topsoil every year. 1 This leads to reduced soil fertility and degraded land. Other major crops that cause soil erosion include coffee, cassava, cotton, corn, palm oil, rice, sorghum, tea, tobacco, and wheat. 2 Waterways clogged & polluted
