Agricultural Land Conservation The issues of land distribution and land conservation in agriculture attract more and more attention‚ especially when the expansion of cropland is hitting a limit since much more land is conserved for environmental purposes. Soil erosion is devastating the topsoil of land as chemical fertilizers are used to increase output within a limited amount of land. At the same time‚ livestock production expands at an ever-growing speed‚ worsening the land use situation.

of the rainforest has been destroyed so deforestation is a problem. Diamonds‚ gold‚ bauxite and many other useful ores or precious metals are also found in the rainforest area. The Savannah is hot and very dry due to drought‚ deforestation and overgrazing and there are not as many useful natural resources there‚ unfortunately more of the North of Ghana is turning into desert. Desertification is a growing environmental problem because the ground is too dry for agricultural uses and so it slows down

To find out the history of the Australian fauna scientists used stable carbon isotopes from the emu eggshell (a flightless bird native to Australia). The samples were largely taken from Lake Eyre. The carbon composition of the eggshell tells us the composition of the bird’s diet (over 3-5 days). The emus are mixed feeders herbivores‚ eating leaves‚ shoots‚ fruits‚ flowers

In the early 1930s‚ many crops were damaged by severe drought. Overgrazing destroyed large areas of grassland. Dry land farming further parched the soil. Eventually‚ the lands began to bare. This was caused by large‚ violent sandstorms. These dust storms were so powerful that skies darkened for days‚ billowing over farmlands
