How is soil being damaged by humans, and what actions can be taken to protect soil and limit erosion?

Answer 1

an example on how humans damage soil are things like:

overgrazing, this is when a farmer stocks to many animals like cows or sheep the animals damage the soil surface by eating the grass, digging into wet soil or compacting dry soil with their hooves

Overcropping, this is when land is being continuously under cultivation and is not allowed to follow between crops. this constant farming of the land reduces the soils ability to produce humus for soil

deforestation, is the cutting of large areas of forests leaving an large open exposed landscape this occurs for many reasons like selling wood or for a source of fuel while cleared land is used for livestock

we can prevent all of this by doing things like:

planting vegetation, matting, building retaining walls for plants,reduce watering, avoid soil compaction and many more
(let me know if i'm wrong)

Answer 2

Well one way soil is being damaged by humans is the water systems we use. Also when we place concrete down that kills soil and starts erosion. We can probably protect soil by bot doing these things and planting more plants and trees. Also by not giving big corporations the ability to do these things like killing trees and putting down mass production for concrete streets or sidewalk. Hope this helps.
