Aravallis lost 13.8% soil per year during 2017-2024: Study Despite increased forest cover in the Aravallis, built-up areas have surged 53%, leading to a 13.8% rise in annual soil loss. Researchers found that massive land conversion, particularly of rangelands and croplands, overwhelms local conservation efforts like afforestation. This trend, linked to human activity and climate change, threatens the delicate balance of this ancient mountain range. #Study #Aravallis #Aravallis_lost #built-up_areas #soil_loss #increased_forest #forest_cover #annual_soil #soil #lost
