Process of land degradation

Physical processes: decline in soil structure leading to compaction, erosion, desertification, environmental pollution, and unsustainable use of natural resources.

Chemical processes: acidification, leaching, salinization, decrease in cation retention capacity, and fertility depletion.

Biological processes: reduction in total and biomass carbon, and decline in land biodiversity.
