The Degradation of the soil is an important problem connected with land use and environment. It affects, apart from many other or indirect implications, the productivity and fertility of soils which is factor of great agricultural importance, and its more so for an agricultural dependent state like Punjab.
land degradation causes soil errosion which further lead to drought and desertification.
Human activity is the main cause of soil degradation. Agriculture plays a large part in soil degradation, especially clearing, irrigation, the spreading of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, overgrazing and even the passage of heavy farming equipment. Tillage and the clearing and deforestation of large plots of land also lead to soil degradation. Improper drainage in agricultural fields also contributes to soil degradation.
This is known as Loss of Habitat - listen People - without the small and the smallest of Bio Things there may be and can be no large creatures either Animal or Vegetable.

Land degradation is a problem in Australian Environment that centres on the deterioration of soil resources . Land degradation occurs over a large area of Australia, is difficult to reverse and has negative environmental, social and economic impacts Land degradation affects soil health and productivity. Healthy topsoil provides the majority of nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, on which flora and fauna are dependent. Land degradation does not just affect soils but also impact upon rivers, and wetlands and lakes where soils are deposited

Degradation of land includes soil erosion, salinization, nutrient depletion, and desertification. The rate of degradation has increased dramatically with growth in human populations and technology.Severe land damage accompanies large scale agriculture. Restoration is very problematical.Continued loss of arable land will jeopardize our ability to feed the world population.Land degradation is worldwide - both developed and developing countries.
The land revenue system which was introduced in Punjab was the Zamindari system.
Go to google images and type 'effects of land degradation' or just 'land degradation' and you should get what you want. You can also type in things like removal of topsoil & mudslides because they come under soil erosion and soil erosion. Soil erosion is a factor of land degradation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_degradation This website has effects of land degradation. You can also type a few of those effects in google images.
Land degradation is a process in which the value of the bio physical environment is affected by one or more combination of human-induced processes acting upon the land.
