Question

Which action by ancient Mesopotamians most contributed to the desertification of their lands?

Answer 1

Overgrazing and woodcutting are responsible for most of the desertification of rangelands, cultivation practices inducing accelerated water and wind erosion are most responsible in the rain-fed croplands, and improper water management leading to salinization is the cause of the deterioration of irrigated lands.
