Over the past few decades, a significant amount of agricultural land has been lost due to soil degradation/desertification. In addition, increasing frequency extreme events, such as intense droughts and forest fires, negatively impacted various ecosystem services. Two main Brazilian biomes—the Cerrado Caatinga—have affected by increased rainfall variability, leading desertification, fire freque...

Land degradation especially as a result of the rapid increase in demand and pressure population, have emerged one most important problems. Many model approaches, regarding land desertification, been developed continue to be on world. The MEDALUS (Mediterranean Desertification Use) which is famous models has for an environment assessment program contributed by 31 groups 10 countries 1999. This i...

The impact of simulated future climate change on land degradation was assessed in three representative study sites Thessaly, Greece, one the country’s most important agronomic zones. Two possible scenarios were used for estimation climatic conditions, which based greenhouse gas emissions (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). Three time periods selected: reference past period 1981–2000 comparison, 2041–2060 2081...

Undoubtedly, land degradation linked to desertification causes a decrease in qualitative and quantitative features of natural resources. This research aimed to assess land desertification by local residents and their role in controlling desertification in Isfahan province, Iran in 2016. The criteria were soil climate, vegetation, erosion, and demography. The indicators of soil texture, stone fr...

in many countries, studies to determine the severity of desertification and providing land plans to implement desertification. one of the models is modified medalus or iranian model (imdpa), has been used in present research in order to investigate desertification situation in the tashk region of fars province. in this research, the modified imdpa model used with emphasis on the water, soil and...

Abstract Monitoring landscapes in times of climate change patterns is a crucial issue, moreover, the analyzed Mediterranean area, one major global candidates to develop land degradation stresses and consequential desertification phenomena. The research presented here developed Basin, specifically Basilicata Region (southern Italy). region characterized by very long history intensive anthropizat...
