What kind of organisms helps hold soil in place to slow erosion?

• Correct Answer: animals
• flowers
• bacteria
• plants

Explanation: People remove a lot of vegetation. They log forests or prepare the land for farming or construction. Even just walking or riding your bike over the same place can kill the grass. But plants help to hold the soil in place ( Figure below ). Without plants to protect it, soil may be carried away by wind or running water. In many areas, soil is eroding faster than it is forming. In these locations, soil is a non-renewable resource.
