Vegetation, including trees, holds soil in place and shelters it from wind and water, preventing soil erosion. The roots from trees and other plants stabilize the soil and hold it in place. Vegetation also lessens the impact which precipitation hits the ground and shelters the soil from wind erosion as well.
