How Do Agricultural Practices Influence Soil Erosion and Toxicity?
Agricultural practices significantly impact soil erosion and the movement of toxins. Intensive farming techniques, such as monoculture and the excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, can exacerbate erosion. These practices not only strip the soil of its natural protective vegetation cover but also introduce harmful chemicals that can leach into water systems during erosion events, amplifying environmental and health risks.
