Most of the issues regarding desertification are always related to soil fertility and water quality [1,2]. Hence United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) seriously globalized the issues of desertification in 1992. The developed and developing including hilly mountainous countries are the conference of the parties and so as Nepal [3]. The catchments in hill and Himalayan reg...

in management, the monitoring means systematic collection and storage of data from activities and strategies that provide assessment and report about the overall condition of the study area. in this research, among different existing methods, imdpa model was selected for monitoring desertification in garmsar plain. based on the study area two criteria including agriculture and water were select...

early warning systems are key components of strategies to reduce risk. this research, by adopting a systematic approach in the management of the risk of desertification and by including previously developed models and systems, offers an integrated efficient structure in terms of early warning for the risk of desertification as a pilot system for semi-arid areas of west golestan province in iran...

Undoubtly, land degradation causes apparent decrease of natural resources potential which are highly linked to desertification. Different countries and also international organization have realized a great number of projects to combat desertification. Unfortunately these projects have not reach to their goals. The experiences shows that the reason of these unsuccessful works is lack of consider...

In recent years, with the abnormal global climate change, problem of desertification has become more and serious. The vegetation pattern is accompanied by desertification, thus, study helpful to better understand causes desertification. this work, we reveal influences hydrotropism on based a vegetation–water system in form reaction–diffusion equations. Parameter ranges for steady-state mode obt...

[1] The abrupt desertification over the northern Africa in the mid-Holocene is studied in both a complex and a simple coupled climate-vegetation model. In contrast to the previous mechanism that relies on strong positive vegetation-climate feedback and the resulted multiple equilibria, we propose a new mechanism in which the abrupt desertification is caused by low frequency climate variability,...

Climate variability during the present interglacial, the Holocene, has been rather smooth in comparison with the last glacial. Nevertheless, there were some rather abrupt climate changes. One of these changes, the desertification of the Saharan and Arabian region some 4 6 thousand years ago, was presumably quite important for human society. It could have been the stimulus leading to the foundat...
