The loss of topsoil and nutrients due to erosion reduces productivity, and may also reduce the soil's ability to store water for plants to draw upon between rainfall events. Off-site impacts created by sheet erosion of soil and its deposition away from the erosion site, may include crop and pasture damage, water-quality deterioration and stream, dam, lake and reservoir sedimentation. Damage to aquatic habitats is likely to follow. Sheet erosion may also result in removal of seeds or seedlings.
