What are the effects of deforestation on soil?

Deforestation causes soil erosion. Because the roots of trees hold soil tightly and prevent the soil from erosion. If we cut trees the roots leave the soil and so that the soil will erode. When forest is cut down, nothing is there to protect the soil. Once the forests are cut down, the erosive effects are much worse than on flat land. Erosion and rainfall in such places can cause huge mudslides. This can cause serious land degradation. Loss of trees and other vegetation may cause soil erosion.
