Soil degradation is a process describing the loss of equilibrium in stable soil, usually as a result of a change in climate or vegetation of the area by the replacement of a primary plant community by a secondary community. This change in climate results in a change in composition, amount and formation of the soil. The main cause of soil degradation is erosion (see [[Land Erosion|land erosion]]). Soil degradation can have many negative consequences including natural disasters such as mud flows and floods, a decrease in water quality, and the loss of [[Biodiversity|biodiversity]] in impacted regions. | Soil degradation is a process describing the loss of equilibrium in stable soil, usually as a result of a change in climate or vegetation of the area by the replacement of a primary plant community by a secondary community.
