# Desertification in Africa

Geography: KS3, topic 17.1.11

## What are the Causes of Desertification?

Desertification describes land getting drier, less fertile and more like a desert. After desertification, it is harder to grow crops and survive in the ecosystem. The main factors that lead to desertification are:

### Removal of fuel wood

![Removal of fuel wood](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/22f8bccc-4711-44e5-ac25-859e4a04b3d0/shutterstock_300707318.jpg)

- Logging and cutting down trees to burn as fuel means that an area has fewer trees. This means that soil is not bound to tree roots and is more likely to be washed away.
- Removing fuel wood increases soil erosion.

### Overgrazing

- If livestock eat every plant on a plot of land, then this can again cause soil erosion. 
- There will be no roots to bind the soil together and plants may struggle to grow again for a very long time.

### Over-cultivation

- Fallow years are held because planting crops in the same place over and over again uses up all the soil nutrients.
- Plants won't be able to grow there in the future and again, soil erosion will happen.

### Population growth

![Population growth](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/f57960a6-b18f-4a83-8f2b-8915cf8d8847/shutterstock_319848719.jpg)

- Deforestation to build human settlements, expanding livestock grazing grounds and over-cultivation are all side effects of there being more people on Earth. 
- In 1950, the world's population was 2.5 billion people. 
- In 2019, the world's population was 7.7 billion people.

### Climate change

![Climate change](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/f365adfa-e5cf-4abc-9110-fb8ffb638d18/shutterstock_597536849.jpg)

- Rising temperatures caused by human carbon emissions and the greenhouse effect is likely to lead to more desertification.
- As temperatures rise and rainfall falls, naturally, more places will become desert-like. 
- The American Mid-West and Southern European countries could be at risk of this by 2100 if temperatures keep rising.

### Soil erosion

![Soil erosion](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/95eaa11d-1348-4720-9605-b237820d2964/shutterstock_348544355.jpg)

- A lack of plants in the ground means that exposed soil and nutrients are more easily blown away. 
- Soil erosion reduces the fertility of land and will reduce the efficiency of food production, causing problems for many countries.

## Desertification

Desertification is when land becomes drier and loses productivity. There are several different causes of desertification.

### Removal of fuel wood

![Removal of fuel wood](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/courseImages/biology/5.2.1%20-%20The%20nervous%20system/fire-2735376_640-min.jpg)

- People in dry areas use wood for fuel. 
- By removing wood, soils are more exposed and so soil erosion increases.

### Overgrazing

![Overgrazing](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-07/2052fae7-1b86-401b-9bb2-0f94fb804789/cows_sleeping.jpg)

- If there are too many livestock grazing in an area, plants can't grow fast enough to keep up with the rate of consumption.
- The plants will stop holding the soil together and so soil erosion increases.
- Another way in which animals increase soil erosion is by trampling.

### Over-cultivation

![Over-cultivation](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-09/85029d28-f83b-4b6b-bac1-f380360be0eb/countryside-farming-agriculture-crop-wheat-field-.jpg)

- Continued planting of crops in the same place leads to soil nutrients running out.
- Eventually, crops will not be able to survive in these areas. Without these plants to hold the soil together, soil erosion will increase.

### Population growth

![Population growth](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/courseImages/chemistry/9.1.3%20Common%20atmospheric%20pollutants%20and%20their%20sources/people-min.jpg)

- Pressure on the land increases when populations grow.
 - This leads to more removal of fuelwood, overgrazing and over-cultivation, along with all the associated side effects.

### Climate change

![Climate change](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-09/fcce1dd7-0795-41f5-b653-c99747fd4a60/climate%20change.jpg)

- Temperatures are expected to increase globally in the coming decades. Higher temperatures mean increased evaporation, and increased evaporation means drier soils and more plant death.
- Rainfall is expected to decrease in already dry areas. Less rain means more plants will die because of a lack of water, and fewer plants mean more soil erosion because there are fewer roots holding the soil together.

### Soil erosion

![Soil erosion](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-05/52a52554-0220-4a9a-88f3-9b896b0b013c/shutterstock_726939274.jpg)

- Exposed soil and the nutrients within are removed by water and wind.
- The loss of nutrients reduces the productivity of the soil until eventually, the ground becomes more and more desert-like.

## Test yourself on Desertification in Africa

- Which of the following is not a factor causing desertification?
- What do we call the process of land degrading to become more like a desert?
- What are the factors causing desertification?
- How will climate change cause more soil erosion?
