Why is soil erosion important?

In my opinion or point of view, soil erosion symbolizes something just as important as greenhouse gas emissions, global warming, or an epidemic disease that could potentially take the lives of people such as the bird flu due to the fact that the overall longitudinal effects that it can cause to our living environmental factors. Furthermore, when the erosion of the soil occues, the detrimental effects include increased eutrophication. In addition, land can no longer be used for crop growth, or for feeding different types of animals. Moreover, whenver land can lose its ability to fertilize. Additonally, there would be a lowered income for farmers. Not to mention, there would be fewer plants that are capable of growing which will in then lead to even more erosion happening. Furthermore, the environment suffer in an immense way due to the fact that more eco-friendly trees and plants will be torn and taken down. Above all, enormous amounts of degradation of the soil will cause starvation for many people. When this happens, many people will have no choice, but only move and live in another country or place of stay. Moreover, the deteriorated top part of the soil will create abundant amounts of sediments occuring in rivers, which will in then cause the flooding of river banks. Furthermore, often and frequent flooding will occur. On an end note, soil erosion will even cause damage of the areas that are used for the breeding of different kinds of fish.
