Soil Degradation or land Degradations refers to the human-induced or natural process which impairs the capacity of the land to function and grow crops. It involves a different process that decreases the fertility of the land. These are acidification, contaminations, desertification, erosion, and or salination. Soil acidification might be good for the soil, however, it […]
