What is soil degradation? |
[Edit] |
[Edit] 
Soil degradation is when soil deteriorates because of human activity and loses its quality and productivity. It happens when soil loses its nutrients, or its organic matter. It also happens when the soil structure breaks down, or if the soil becomes toxic from pollution.
It is not the same as soil erosion, which is when the soil is washed or blown away by water or wind.
