Land degradation:The change in the characteristic and quality of soil which adversely affect its fertility is called as Degradation.
1- deforestation: Deforestation is taking place at a faster rate due to increasing demands of timber, fuel and forest products which results into degradation of land resources
2-overgrazing: Overgrazing refers to excessive eating of grasses and other green plants by cattle. It results into reduced growth of vegetation, reduced diversity of plant species, excessive growth of unwanted plant species, soil erosion, and degradation of land due to cattle movement.
3-agricultural practices-The modern agricultural practises, excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides has adversely degraded the natural quality and fertility of the cultivation land.
4-industrialisation- Development of industries for the economic growth of the country leads to excessive deforestation and utilization of land in such as way that it has lost its natural up gradation quality.
5- urbanisation: Increasing growth of population and demand for more residential areas and commercial sectors is also one of the reasons for land degradation.
