There are many results stemming from grassland degradation. Two of the more logical outcomes are the decrease in arable land and a drop off in the amount of crops harvested.[1] These two similar outcomes in some way only lead to more degradation in that farmers, who now see their land as useless, just move on to perhaps a smaller plot of land, since that is all their money can afford, after having to surrender their prior property.[2] Hence, smaller plots are easier to be overgrazed and worked to exhaustion.[1] Also, the numbers of livestock tend to decrease with grassland degradation, mainly because there is less grass to be eaten.[1]
