How human lifestyle is responsible for extension of desserts?

Human lifestyle is responsible for extension of deserts:-

• Deforestation to fulfil human needs of food, shelter, fuels etc.

• Introduction of livestock decreases the vegetation, which in turn is responsible for the increase in albedo (sunlight reflecting off the earth’s surface) of land, which reduces monsoon, creating deserts.

• Mining from reservoirs, military exercises (e.g. nuclear tests), extraction of oil and water from deep earth have made grounds unstable and barren leading to desertification.
