Soil erosion does not occur easily where the land is covered by vegetation. Do you agree Explain

Yes, soil erosion does not occur easily where the land is covered by vegetation (trees and other plants). It occurs easily in those areas of land which are not covered by vegetation (trees and other plants) or have very little vegetation. If there is vegetation on land,

• then the roots of vegetation growing in the soil bind the particles of topsoil firmly. Due to this, the blowing wind and flowing rainwater are not able to carry away topsoil and hence soil erosion does not occur.
• then much of the falling rain hits the trees and plants before it hits the soil. In this way, the cover of vegetation softens the effect of heavy rains on the soil.
