“…Intensification of soil management due to increased food demand has led to degradation of soil resources all over the world (Pierzynski and Brajendra, 2017;Stolte et al, 2016), and global food demand will probably be an immense challenge for humanity in the future (Pravalie, 2021). Smith et al (2016) emphasised cropping practices and livestock management as the main causes of soil physical degradation and reduction in soil fertility and soil resilience.…”

“…An important yet difficult-to-detect consequence of exceedance of the critical soil strength threshold in the subsoil is the onset of chronic compaction that negatively impacts various soil functions ( 9 , 26 ). These are manifested by a persistent decline in crop yields ( 13 , 27 , 28 ), limited water infiltration capacity ( 8 , 10 ), and a decline in other soil ecosystem services ( 29 , 30 ). A key point is that the likelihood of subsoil compaction increases with increasing vehicle weights.…”

“…The prevailing warming scenario and increased anthropogenic interferences have not only led to the degradation of the pristine montane landscapes but increased the risk of the communities to various climate-induced disasters posing a threat to the life and infrastructure downstream. Landscape degradation primarily manifests through land system changes (Prăvălie, 2021), vegetation composition and distribution changes (Li et al, 2021), eutrophication of water bodies (Dar et al, 2021), and increased frequency of hazards associated with Earth surface processes (Smiraglia et al, 2016). The cumulative effects of the anthropogenic footprint and exacerbated warming in high-elevation environments have also resulted in enhanced glacier melt, glacier area loss, formation of new-moraine dammed lakes, and destabilization of permafrost that could affect upstream-downstream linkages and also increase the vulnerability of downstream communities to Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs), Landslide Lake Outburst Floods (LLOFs), snow avalanches, glacier detachments, landslides, debris flows and rock-ice avalanches (Kääb et al, 2021;Shugar et al, 2021;Zheng et al, 2021).…”
