Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Most of the logging methods cause soil erosion. Almost all of the logging methods harm the soil and forest environment. Continuous deforestation or cutting of plants damages the roots and in turn, harms the soil. When trees are cut regularly, it damages the base or roots and loosens the soil.
Detailed explanation-2: -Overgrazing causes a chain reaction in the soil that decreases its health due to: Increased percentages of bare ground, leading to increased wind erosion and water runoff, along with higher soil temperatures that cause faster rates of evaporation. Reduced water infiltration rates and water holding capacity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Deforestation is the purposeful clearing of forested land.
