The 29 pages that link to Land degradation, each with the reason it gives.

• Land-use changeRelated: Unsustainable land-use changes can reduce soil and ecosystem capacity.

• GrazingRelated: A central management question is when grazing contributes to persistent loss of land function.

• Land useRelated: Unsustainable land management can erode soil and reduce productive capacity.

• SavannaRelated: Overgrazing, cultivation, and altered fire regimes can degrade savanna vegetation and soils.

• Eurasian SteppeRelated: Intensive cultivation and grazing have reduced the resilience of some steppe landscapes.

• Soil formationRelated: Degradation can disrupt soil-forming functions and reduce the quality of soil that develops.

• AgronomyRelated: Unsustainable management can reduce the productive capacity agronomy aims to maintain.

• Soil scienceRelated: Soil degradation is a major pathway through which land loses function.

• Sahel droughtRelated: It was once widely proposed as a major cause of Sahel drought, but evidence emphasizes ocean-driven climate variability.

• Terrace farmingRelated: Neglected terraces can lose their erosion-control benefits and contribute to degraded land.

• Agricultural policyRelated: Production incentives can worsen degradation when soil and water costs are not accounted for.

• Miombo woodlandRelated: Repeated clearing and burning can reduce soil quality and woodland recovery.

• Sudanian SavannaRelated: Overgrazing, cultivation, and erosion can diminish the region’s productive capacity.

• Land change scienceRelated: Land-change analysis tracks how management and conversion can reduce land quality.

• Tropical and subtropical grasslandsRelated: Unsustainable cultivation and grazing can degrade soils in seasonal grassland regions.
