27) Desertification is the process of converting arable forests or grasslands into unusable land that lacks fertile soil and sufficient
moisture. Climate change can contribute to desertification of land across the globe. Each of these is an example of climate change
leading to desertification EXCEPT
A)
Higher temperatures on a global scale lead to higher levels of evaporation
and less moisture in soils.
B)
Higher evaporation can lead to soil salinity levels increasing in certain
areas of the globe.
C)
More frequent droughts in Southern Europe and other areas will reduce the
soil content
D)
Increased temperatures will decrease the growth of plants on a global
scale.
