ocr.org.ukin drylands. The question requires well-developed ideas for both weathering and erosion and the structure of this answer shows that this is the case here. Comprehensive knowledge and understanding is shown through the discussion of different types of weathering and then the use of the Mojave Desert to exemplify the points being made.

Dessalegn (1999) argues that in Ethiopia, development, not water scarcity, is a more important source of conflicts between the rural communities.

FORESTS - Climate Change, Biodiversity and Land Degradation
unfccc.intdrylands occupy 41% of the earth’s land area and are home to more than 2 billion people. Intensive human intervention, for example, fire, grazing, agriculture, firewood collection, has adversely transformed many dry forests. Those dry forest systems that have not been completely destroyed are generally impoverished and fragmented.

By increasing soil water content, supply and retention, crop yields can be improved significantly, and successful crop production can be made possible even in areas that are producing poorly under existing conditions.
