The issues of land degradation are directly or indirectly influenced by human and/or natural actions, and it is one of the most challenging issues confronting several regions of the world, especially developing nations. Notwithstanding the importance of land, its degradation consequences, possibly as a result of the various biological, physical, and chemical processes caused by some activities (both natural and man-induced) that diminish viable yield, resulting in a long-term, enduring devaluation of land. Hence, this present review study is dedicated to some of the most emerging and challenging issues in monitoring, rehabilitation, prevention, and management of land (land reclamation) drawn from existing publications. Also, the description of some of the most extreme procedures of land reclamation in some natural environments.
The appropriate use and exploitation of land vis-Ã -vis soil safety and sustainability play a fundamental role in AES as well as climate change mitigation and other critical progressions of the ecosystem in general. However, the continuous and incessant use and exploration of land as well as its exploitation have led to its dilapidation (degradation).
The dilapidation of land (or, in this context, LD) is a major challenging issue confronting not just the regions of Africa but most regions of the world. Consequently, appropriate actions are needed for the enhancement of LR via the monitoring, rehabilitation, prevention, and management of land (all of which are embodied in the processes of LR). Hence, this study precisely examined some of the most pressing and challenging issues of LR that give the impression of imminent connections between nature protection, the natural environment, and LR procedures.
