Land degradation is a global problem largely related to agricultural use, deforestation and Climate Change. Causes include:

1Land clearance, such as clearcutting and deforestation

2Agricultural depletion of soil nutrients through poor farming practices

3Livestock including overgrazing and overdrafting

4Inappropriate irrigation[8] and overdrafting

5Urban sprawl and commercial development

6Vehicle off-roading

7Quarrying of stone, sand, ore and minerals

8Increase in field size due to economies of scale, reducing shelter for wildlife, as hedgerows and copses disappear

9Exposure of naked soil after harvesting by heavy equipment

10Monoculture, destabilizing the local ecosystem

11Dumping of non-biodegradable trash, such as plastics

12Invasive Species

13Climate Change

14Loss of soil carbon
