Editing Gully (section)

=== Effects of gullies ===
The loss of fertile farmland due to gully erosion is a severe environmental problem that lowers crop quality and may cause famine and food shortages. It also causes the soil to lose organic content, which has an impact on plant viability. As items washed from fields end up in rivers, streams, or vacant land, erosion also contaminates the ecosystem. Because of increased population expansion and increasing land demand, erosion also threatens the natural ecosystem, encroaching on natural forests. Important assets including homes, power poles, and water pipelines may also be destroyed.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-04-29 |title=Gully Erosion, Definition, Causes, Effects And Prevention - Jotscroll |url=https://www.jotscroll.com/forums/3/posts/159/gully-erosion-definition-causes-effects-and-prevention.html |access-date=2023-10-23 |website=www.jotscroll.com |language=en-US}}</ref>
