Land degradation is a process in which the value of the biophysical environment is affected by a combination of human-induced processes acting upon the land. It is viewed as any change or disturbance to the land perceived to be deleterious or undesirable.

Land degradation is one of the world’s most pressing environmental problems and it will worsen without rapid remedial action. Globally, about 25 percent of the total land area has been degraded. When land is degraded, soil carbon and nitrous oxide is released into the atmosphere, making land degradation one of the most important contributors to climate change. Scientists recently warned that 24 billion tons of fertile soil was being lost per year, largely due to unsustainable agriculture practices. If this trend continues, 95 percent of the Earth’s land areas could become degraded by 2050.

What was one effect of the Peloponnese war?
gregori [183]

Answer:

An effect of the Peloponnese war was that Macedonia invaded Greece.

Explanation:

The Peloponnese war was a war between Sparta and Athens, with Sparta coming out as a victor in it. The lack of political absence of Athens for some time in the region because of the engagement in the war with Sparta gave opportunity the Macedonians to be able to speed up their progress, implement reforms, and rapidly become a force to be reckoned with.

The Macedonians managed to reform their army and strengthen their economy, and for the Hellenic city-states, this was not a good sign. Phillip II of Macedon attacked the Hellenic city-states and defeated them all, causing a huge loss in military personnel. One city-state that saved itself was Sparta, and there are two reasons for it, one is that they were in good relations with the Macedonians and often allied, and the other because it was of interest to any of the two sides to go in war against each other and suffer losses unnecesarilly.
