The growing human population and available technology, influences the pattern of land use in any country. Do you agree? Give reasons.
Answers
Answer:
Today's population dynamics are unique. Although there is a negative correlation between density and natural increase (births minus deaths; see Table 1), many countries that are already very densely populated are still experiencing high rates of population growth (see Figures 1 and 2). Most of the research on population and land use change has focused on levels of population and population densities. However, rates of change in high-density countries may also be critical variables.
Explanation:
Population growth has direct effects on increased demand for fuelwood and food and land fragmentation. Indirect effects exist through the demand for food which puts pressure on land extensification and intensification which affects soil quality and out migration which affect deforestation and desertification.
