Erosion increases the amount of dust carried by wind, which not only acts as an abrasive and air pollutant but also carries about 20 human infectious disease organisms, including anthrax and tuberculosis.
PLANTS:
In particular, erosion reduces the water- holding capacity because of rapid water runoff, and reduces soil organic matter. As a result, nutrients and valuable soil biota are transported. At the same time, species diversity of plants, animals, and microbes is significantly reduced.
ANIMALS:
Topsoil is easily carried away so, plants will not grow well due to lack of nutrients. Sediments can clogged the irrigation system- no enough water supply for the plants. Soil loses the ability to hold and absorb water-soil will be dry- not suitable for vegetation.
