The pie chart below shows the main reasons why agricultural land becomes less productive. The table shows how these causes affected three regions of the world during the 1990s
The pie chart illustrates the main factors leading to land degradation on a global scale while the table provides the proportions of land degraded by these causes to three areas during the 1990s.
In general, it can be seen that internationally, over-grazing, deforestation and over-cultivation are the main reasons, indicated by their comparable figures. Also, regionally, Europe had the largest percentage of land degraded.
In details, over-grazing is held responsible for degrading 35% of worldwide land, which is followed by deforestation and over-cultivation ( 30% and 28%, respectively). Other factors only accounted for less than 10 percent.
However, this pattern was not observed for the figures in individual areas. Up to 23% of land in Europe was degraded, which was higher than the figure for Oceania (13%) and North America (5%). In Europe, nearly 10% of land degradation was attributed to deforestation whereas over-cultivation and over-grazing had lesser impacts (accounting for 7.7 percent and 5.5 percent, respectively). In contrast, most of the land degraded in Oceania was because of over-grazing. Deforestation only accounted for 1.7% of degradation while over-cultivation was a non-factor for these islands. However, the latter was the main cause of degradation in the land of North America, accounting for 3.3%, which was more than 2 times the figure for over-grazing while deforestation played a minor role.
