Concept information

Preferred term

erosion  

Definition(s)

  • Erosion can refer to either the effects of human and natural processes or the human-natural interactive processes, the latter serving here as the focus in discussing soil erosion and biodiversity loss, particularly as a result of surface water runoffs in both urban and rural environments. When humans disrupt soil creation processes, habitat fragmentation, habitat destruction, and general ecological unraveling begin in the soil gradient's plant and animal life specific to it.
