Question

Trees in a forest are shedding leaves. How does it effect the properties that prevent flood control and soil erosion of a forest?

Answer 1

• The less number of leaves on trees would not reduce the flow of rain. Hence it will not help in preventing the flood control in the area. ​
• Since unlike roots, leaves of a tree do not hold on to soil, shedding of leaves does not have an effect on soil erosion.
