The pie diagram depicts the worldwide causes of land degradation on agricultural land in the year 1990. The table shows the affected region of the world.
Overall, the main reason for less productive land was over-grazing causing the highest Percentage of 35% whereas, followed by deforestation with the second-highest percentage of 30%. Over-cultivation affected 28% and the other reasons were 7%. During this period, the region affected by land degradation were North America, Europe, and Oceania. Europe is affected by the highest degradation in a total of 23% majorly by cutting 9. 8% of forest while, 7. 7% of over-cultivation and 5. 5% of over-grazing. Oceania was the only where cultivation was not a problem however, cutting of trees was only 1. 7 but over- grazing seems to be a drawback as it was 11. 3 done. North America is the least affected place by only 5% furthermore, cutting down forest was 0. 2% but excess of cultivation and grazing shared 3. 3% and 1. 5% respectively.
