The purposeof this studywas to Analyzing factors that effecting on rangeland degradation. Statistical population of this research consisted of whole farmer in Pirtaj district (N= 1600); from that 120 farmer were selected as sample using cluster sampling. The main tool to collect data was a researcher made questionnaire that Content validity of the questionnaire was approved, by a panel of exper...

Land degradation has expanded in the Mediterranean region as a result of a variety of factors, including economic and population growth, land-use changes and climate variations. The level of land vulnerability to degradation and its growth over time are distributed heterogeneously over space, concentrating on landscapes exposed to high human pressure. The present study investigates the level of...

Land degradation, or desertification, is specific to arid, semi-arid, and dry sub-humid regions. The rate of thisphenomenon is high in developing countries such as Iran. This research investigated desertification and mapping ofdesertification in Abuzaydabad, near Kashan, Iran, with an emphasis on land criteria using an IMDPA model.Different studies have assessed land degradation or desertificat...

Land degradation by soil erosion and landslides has been recognised as a constraint for sustainable land-use in Eastern Bhutan for a few decades. However, the extreme diversity in agro-ecological zones, the relative inaccessibility of the region, the lack of reliable data and the limited research capacity made it very difficult to develop a relevant land management strategy. To address this iss...

This paper presents a study on land degradation monitoring focused in the west part of the MuUs Sandy Land in Ordos, one of the important dry areas in China, aiming to understand land degradation distribution in space and time and the role of anthropogenic action in such land surface processes at local level. Multi-temporal Landsat images (MSS 1978, 1979; TM 1987, 1989, 1991 and 2007; ETM+ 1999...

Land degradation takes a number of forms, including depletion of soil nutrients, salinization, agrochemical pollution, soil erosion, vegetative degradation as a result of overgrazing, and the cutting of forests for farmland. All of these types of degradation cause a decline in the productive capacity of the land, reducing potential yields. Farmers may need to use more inputs such as fertilizer ...

Sanjiang Plain has undergone dramatic land degradation since the 1950s, which has caused negative effects on ecosystems services and sustainability. In this study, we used trajectory analysis as well as the Lorenz curve, Gini coefficient and relative land use suitability index (R) to analyze spatiotemporal changes of land degradation from 1954 to 2013 and to make a preliminary estimation of the...

By manifesting the response of land to human activity and impacts, degradation of forestland indicates the locations where society is in conflict with sustaining the forest environment. The analysis of land degradation in various land-use/cover patterns of Russia’s vast forest zone (about 1050 million ha, or 63% of the country) clearly demonstrates two human-induced problems, inappropriate tech...

< p>Successful implementation of land reform requires the implementation of large-scale market transformations, in particular in the structure of land tenure and land use, in the field of land valuation. The article is devoted to the development of scientific and methodological bases of economic evaluation and use of land resources of agricultural enterprises, substantiation of approaches and r...

degradation of zagros forests has been continuing since a long time ago because of traditional and often improper exploitations due to poverty, unemployment, and livelihood. in this study, in order to reduce forest degradation and improve sustainability, the feasibility of multipurpose using of zagros forest was assessed in baneh forests by using gis, rs and ahp. all of the possible land-uses a...
