Describe how farming affects an ecosystem.

.

Forests, grasslands, and other ecosystems are converted for farmland. When we clear land for agriculture, we often lose some soil ... Thus, the soil degrades over time. If we're in areas with heavy rainfall, replacing forests with cropland often results in an increase in flooding

Agricultural practices have impact on a wide range of ecosystem services, including water quality, pollination, nutrient cycling, soil retention, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity conservation.
