Depending on the damage, this is caused either by slugs or a soil pest such as cutworms. You can look for the latter in the soil, just under the surface near the plants. If you can’t find these brown grubs, it is likely to be slugs or snails. If you find just a few cut worms, that can be enough and you just remove them.
