Abstract

Erosion is a natural process that has sculpted the Earth's surface for eons. This article explores the multifaceted effects of erosion on landscapes and ecosystems. It delves into the alteration of landforms, loss of topsoil, sedimentation in water bodies, habitat destruction, changes in nutrient cycles, landslides, cultural and economic impacts, and the feedback between erosion and climate change. By understanding these impacts, we can better appreciate the importance of erosion control and sustainable land management in preserving landscapes and ecosystems.
