Answer:

The environmental issue of desertification by overgrazing of cattle is of most immediate concern to policy-makers in New England.

Explanation:

  • The soils in the New England region are known to be extremely thin and rocky.
  • The covers of grasses and shrubs in this region had never allowed the intensity of the problem of thin soils to be felt.
  • But lately, due to overgrazing of cattle, the thin layers of soil in this region have become vulnerable to wind and water erosion.
  • This has given rise to the possibility of the desertification of the region.
