Impact of land use change on soil erosion, sedimentation and soil microbiome


Author(s): Rishabh Pawar, Rakesh Sharma, Anil Kumar and Swapana Sepehya

Abstract: Land holds a central position in human existence and development. Since their appearance on earth, humans have used land and its resources to meet their material, social and cultural needs. Land use change is necessary and essential for development and social progress as it has broad lines of impact, with a potential for influencing economic growth, quality of life, management of environmental resources and national food supply. The unmanageable use of land is the main reason for destruction of our environment. Land management and the related land use changes have an effect on the spatial patterns and magnitude of accelerated soil erosion, which can affect land productivity, food security, soil microbial diversity and sedimentation rate. There is a serious lack of knowledge concern on how land use change affects soil erosion, sedimentation and soil microbiome. Therefore, a proper knowledge of relationship of these aspects would provide crucial information for planning conservation strategies.
