I have a backyard lawn that has been plagued with vine roots on the ground and I'm planning to remove them all because I hate to see the leaves growing like crazy. However, somebody said that doing so will cause soil erosion and will lose the soil. Is this true?
Roots would aide in slowing water flow and water is taken up by the roots; if they are removed, water can flow more easily.
If you have a soil erosion issue, plant material is a great way to help.
This article has some information for you.

This is a new lawn in Georgetown Texas we on a slight slope when it rains the grass and soil is being washed away. We have only be in our home one year and the lawn is basically does not exist. We have a small yard that is shaded with some trees and roof overhang. We recently had a small grass area filled in with rocks. We would like to have some greenery in other areas of the yard
I believe the wrong photos were uploaded! Please try again with the area in question. There are many things that you can do for soil erosion.

This is the Harrison Robotics Team and i wanted to know if you have any information about soil salinity?
Not sure of the scope of your project, home garden or agricultural crop land, or some robotics project. But these articles may be a good start. An Internet search will give you more:

There are many things that will be tolerant of clay soils. Even though there are plants that will tolerate these soil, it will be best to amend it if you have access to such materials.

Chlorine bleach affects plant growth in two main ways. First, the sodium content overloads the plant's system with salts. While chlorine is a naturally occurring and necessary part of soil, significant amounts of it can cause a condition known as chlorine toxicity.
In this case, I think the soil will be just fine after some time and rain.
I have a land where salinity is what I do for her
Wow! That is extremely salty... This is going to be a very difficult problem to solve. I will include an article that will help you in solving this problem here: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertilizers/reversing-soil-salinity.htm
I live in Northern Germany with my cat and dog in a rented apartment with a garden. I will not be putting any vegetables (or anything edible) in the ground, because, as it goes, Berlin, bombings, blah blah. Anyway, my cat has decided that he likes to use the bathroom in one spot in the garden, and that's actually fine with me, because like I said, not using the actual ground for growing vegetables. Just wondering if there is anything in particular that might thrive on cat feces/urine?
I see! Yes, this can, quickly, become a problem! Any animal that consumes meat will have quite the microbial array. This can pose risks to humans and animals in the area, but as long as nobody plays in it, then it shouldn't be too much of an issue. It can even help to put some soil over top of it, or bury it, and even applying mycorrhizae for plants to the area to help it break down faster.
