Question

Destruction of forests affects not just the availability of forest products, but also the quality of soil and the sources of water.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Trees prevent soil erosion by reducing wind. Soil structure is maintained by reducing desiccation ( drying up) through shading. Soil structure, with greater aggregation, is improved by tree root action. When forests get destructed, forest products become unavailable, it affects soil quality and the water sources badly.
