NASA describes desertification as the wearing down of the land, a reduction in land productivity that may not be reversible. This means the land cannot support the same plant and animal life as it could in the past. Desertification is often caused or exacerbated by humans as they mismanage the land while growing or harvesting a natural resource. Question: Human mismanagement/abuse of land can happen in many ways. Please choose the 2 options below that do NOT represent causes of desertification due to land mismanagement.
