Solution
The roots of plants hold soil particles together. In the absence of plants, the top layer of the soil will be easily removed by the action of high-speed winds or water flow. Thus, deforestation increases the chances of soil erosion. As a result, soil loses humus and becomes less fertile. Hence, fertile land, which is a source of living for farmers in villages, gets converted into a desert.
