Re: What is the difference between Overgrazing and Overcultivation? Overgrazing and overcultivation are both forms of land degradation, but they involve different aspects of land use and have distinct impacts on the environment. Here's an explanation of each term: 1. Overgrazing: Overgrazing refers to the excessive grazing of livestock animals on a particular area of land, typically beyond its carrying capacity. When livestock such as cows, sheep, or goats graze too intensively and for prolonged periods, they consume vegetation faster than it can naturally regenerate. This leads to the depletion of grasses, plants, and other forage, causing significant damage to the ecosystem. 2. Overcultivation: Overcultivation, also known as overfarming or excessive tillage, refers to the intensive and unsustainable use of agricultural land. It involves practices such as excessive plowing, continuous cropping without adequate soil management, and inadequate nutrient replenishment. Overcultivation often occurs when farmers attempt to maximize short-term yields without considering the long-term sustainability of the land. |

Re: What is the difference between Overgrazing and Overcultivation? There is basic difference between overgrazing and overcultivation : >>Overgrazing refers to phenomenon in which animals graze the fields more and more and due to which overall fertility of soil is reduced and hence land becomes unfit for cultivation of crops even after adding fertilizers. >>On other hand, overcultivation, lands are cultivated regularly with different crops one after other without giving times for soil to regain its fertility, in both cases fertility is reduced and later on land becomes barren. So, both must be avoided. |
