Introduction: More than 168 countries face the phenomenon of land degradation and desertification. Land use changing and more exploitation of nature's potential in arid and semiarid ecosystems over the past three decades have increased the trend of desertification phenomena in these ecosystems. Deserts are dynamic ecosystems that are constantly evolving. Deserts are dynamic ecosystems that are ...
BACKGROUND Biological soil crusts are common components of desert ecosystem; they cover ground surface and interact with topsoil that contribute to desertification control and degraded land restoration in arid and semiarid regions. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS To distinguish the changes in topsoil affected by biological soil crusts, we compared topsoil properties across three types of succe...
the main factors affecting environmental sensitivity to degradation are soil, vegetation, climate and management, through either their intrinsic characteristics or by their interaction on the landscape. different levels of degradation risks may be observed in response to particular combinations of the aforementioned factors. for instance, the combination of inappropriate management practices an...
A particular sequence of patterns, 'gaps→labyrinth→spots', occurs with decreasing precipitation in previously reported numerical simulations of partial differential equation dryland vegetation models. These observations have led to the suggestion that this sequence of patterns can serve as an early indicator of desertification in some ecosystems. Because parameter values in the vegetation model...
Minimizing the Impacts of Desertification in an Arid Region: A Case Study of the West Desert of Iraq
Currently, desertification is a major problem in the western desert of Iraq. The harsh nature, remoteness, and size make it difficult expensive to monitor mitigate desertification. Therefore, this study proposed comprehensive cost-effective method, via integration geographic information systems (GISs) remote sensing (RS) techniques estimate potential risk desertification, identify most vulnerab...
This document presents proposals for the design and implementation of a Baseline Survey for the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD). It has been prepared at the request of the Secretariat of the UNCCD. The Baseline Survey is to be initiated as part of the UNCCD's Ten Year Strategic Plan, and will form the starting point for monitoring long-term trends in desertification so that prog...
Extended abstract 1- INTRODUCTION Destructive phenomenon of desertification is one of the serious ecological crises at the present time. In order to improve efficiency of combating desertification projects and inhibiting destruction of natural resources and our asset, it sounds considerably meaningful to reach a systematic and comprehensive method that can use different criteria and indicator...
Extended abstract 1-Introduction Desertification means land degradation in the arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid regions because of natural or anthropogenic factors. Desertification is accounted as the third most important global challenge after the crisis of water shortage and drought in the 21st century. Desertification is a problem for many countries, especially the developing countries. I...
