Wind erosion is a kind of erosion that removes the nutient-containing topsoil by the power of the wind. Wind erosion leads to the loss of nutrients from the topsoil, hence, resulting in an infertile soil for plants' growth.
Planting of trees, also known as afforestation, is one way to prevent the negative impact of wind erosion on the soil as plants helps to hold the less compact soil in place using their root systems. The shoot part of the plants involving the leaves and stem also helps to reduce the effect of the wind force. Trees are used as wind breaks for areas that are highly affected by wind.
