OBJECTIVE FORESTRY

Detailed explanation-1: -Slope affects soil formation by influencing erosion rates, drainage characteristics, microclimate, soil depth, texture, and vegetation. Steep slopes are more prone to erosion, leading to the removal of the top layer of soil and changes in soil texture, structure, and nutrient content.

Detailed explanation-2: -Slope: Slope refers to the extent that a soil surface has an incline relative to the horizontal. In percentage terms, slope represents the elevation that occurs between two different points.

Detailed explanation-3: -Slope and topography describe the shape and relief of the land. Topography is a measurement of elevation, and slope is the percent change in that elevation over a certain distance. Topography may be measured with lines that connect points representing the same elevation; these are called topographic contours.

Detailed explanation-4: -The major factors that influence slope processes in study area include: slope angle, rock properties, climate, variation in vegetation cover and, drainage. Human activities have a strong influence on the slope processes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Slope. Slope refers to steepness (in degrees or percent) from horizontal, which affects how much soil material is deposited or eroded. Level soil is the most developed, as it doesn’t lose or gain material. It’s the change in material that slows the soil-forming process.
