Across
  1. 3. A dry, barren land with little rainfall and sparse vegetation.
  2. 6. The breaking up of habitats into smaller, isolated sections due to human activity.
  3. 8. Agricultural land left unplanted to restore nutrients.
  4. 9. The gradual wearing away of land due to wind, water, or ice.
  5. 10. A cold, treeless biome found in Arctic regions with permafrost.
  6. 13. Coastal forests that grow in saline water, protecting shorelines from erosion.
  7. 14. The artificial application of water to land for agriculture.
  8. 15. A land cover type dominated by trees and vegetation, vital for carbon sequestration.
  9. 19. A mixed grassland ecosystem with scattered trees, found in tropical regions.
  10. 20. The variety of plant and animal life in a particular habitat.
  11. 21. A slow-moving mass of ice formed by accumulated snowfall.
  12. 23. The upper layer of trees in a forest that provides shade and shelter.
  13. 26. The process of fertile land becoming desert due to environmental factors.
  14. 27. The agricultural practice of growing a single crop over a large area.
  15. 28. The excessive feeding of livestock on land, leading to vegetation loss and soil degradation.
  16. 29. The planting of trees in areas where there were none before.
  17. 30. Ground that remains frozen for at least two consecutive years.
Down
  1. 1. Land used for grazing livestock.
  2. 2. A land cover type dominated by human-made structures like buildings and roads.
  3. 4. Water-saturated land areas, such as swamps or marshes, important for biodiversity.
  4. 5. Land used for growing crops, often altered by agricultural practices.
  5. 7. Changes in land cover caused by human activity.
  6. 11. A type of forest found in high northern latitudes with coniferous trees.
  7. 12. The restoration of forests that have been depleted.
  8. 16. A climate zone near the equator with warm temperatures and high rainfall.
  9. 17. The process of clearing trees, often for agriculture or urban development.
  10. 18. An environment that absorbs more carbon than it releases, such as forests.
  11. 22. A land cover zone with moderate climate conditions and seasonal changes.
  12. 24. A type of cropland used for growing rice, often requiring flooded fields.
  13. 25. A biome characterized by vast open spaces of grasses with minimal tree cover.
