How humankind impact desert?

Answer 1

How humans harm deserts:

1. By building roads through them
2. By driving strait through the desert, destroying plants
3. Constructions throughout the desert
4. Overgrazing sheep and cattle may destroy plants-though this has slowed over the years
5. Military training, though helpful in protecting deserts, may crush plants and small animals
6. By overusing water
7. Desert Farms
8. and rally car races

How humans help deserts:

1. By conserving water; if you conserve water where you live, there will be more water for the dry deserts
2. Volunteer in a desert by pulling out nonnative desert plants

Answer 2

a human impact is when some one takes a land where there is wild life and then some

company takes it and turnes it into roads and buildings and that happend to most of the

bioms land escapes even to deserts they take a piece of deserts and turnes it into

roads.

well on the negative impacts is humans mine for the water underneath the surface of the desert, and once that water is gone it doesnt come back

Answer 3

we as humans affect the desert by using oil rigs

The desert is very fragile in many ways, because of the scarcity of water and plants. Most plants that live in the desert take a long time to grow. For example, the saguaro cactus takes two centuries to grow. Once plants are destroyed, it will take many years for them to grow back. Since soil in the desert is held down by the plants roots, once plants are destroyed the soil is, too. The soil will quickly erode away in the strong winds.

Many types of human activities hurt the desert. Off roading is one of these activities. Many people drive their off road vehicles in unrestricted areas all over the desert. Their vehicles leave tracks on the soil, which will scar the land for decades. These tracks also kill off vegetation. When vegetation is harmed, so are the animals. When vegetation dwindles in population, in popular off roading areas, so does the animal population. Animals that hide in the sand can also be harmed. The sand viper, which hides so well in the soil, can become an accidental victim of off roading mayhem.

Animal and plant collectors have also devastated the desert. People who collect rare species of cacti have completely wiped out entire populations. These people keep them for decoration, plant them in their yards, and trade them. A single plant can sell for hundreds of dollars. Chuckwalla lizards have also been targeted to be sold in the pet trade. People take these large lizards out of their habitat and then sell them to people as pets. Their numbers have also been reduced dramatically.

Mining and ranching have also decreased many plant species. One plant affected is the saguaro cactus. As vegetation in the area where the saguaro grows is destroyed, so are the saguaro seedlings. Seedlings need shade, once provided by this vegetation, to grow. This dramatically decreases the number of young saguaro cacti in the area.

Many species of Gazelles in the Arabian and North African Deserts have been over hunted and almost driven to extinction by desert people. For many years, the fresh meat of these gazelles were very important to maintaining good health and nutrition of the desert people. When guns were introduced, gazelles were hunted excessively.

Answer 6

Humans impact the desert by the things they do to the desert or in the desert

Answer 7

Humans have a very large impact on the desert. Humans moving to the desert are responsible for habitat loss and pollution for example.
