Poaching refers to the illegal hunting of wild animals in violation of the laws which regulate hunting of wild animals. Over utilization refers to the exploitation of an animal to the point of extinction. Poaching activities include hunting and killing wild animals without licence, using illegal weapons to kill animals, killing animal out of season, etc. All these activities can lead to drastic reduction in the population of animal specie to the extent that the animals become extinct. A good example of an over utilized animal specie is passenger pigeon.

Answer:
<u>Fertilizer usage is linked to the agricultural practice</u> with an aim to <u>enhance the crop yield</u>. Inadequae use of fertilizers however causes soil degradation because <u>these practices overlook the spatial differences in soil fertility status </u>in agricultrual systems. Specifically,<u> not all soils require fertilizer application at the same levels</u>. A recommended approach is that, initially, there should be a proper study of limited nutrients in the soil and thereon only those nutrients should be given at controlled concentrations, which are limited. A major reason is that <u>high concentration of specific nutrients would affect the bioavailability of other nutrients</u> in the long run and could also lead to soil degradation (by affecting soil health status). <u>The microbial population in the soil could also change</u> that are typical for essential biogeochemical cycles. This is a very critical aspect in future future agriculture and to preserve the environment. <u>Deforestation</u> is a condition when the plants are cut excessively for agricultural purposes. <u>If soil degradation continues as discussed above, it would put a reduce the overall proportion of agricultrual land and cutting of naturally grown forests would be required. This would turn the green zones into agricultural zones (in future)</u>. This is a pressure on ecosystem and the consequences can be really harsh.
