LAND DEGRADATION Expanding
populations and economic development have generated a growing demand for
various land-based products, leading to increasing pressure on soils,
water resources, and plants. In developing and developed countries, this
pressure can exceed critical thresholds and requires land managers to
face problems of deteriorating land resources, declining productivity
and consequently reduced income. Maintenance of the productive potential
of land resources, and checking of land degradation, is a fundamental
element of sustainable land use.
