desertification is more related to social and anthropogenic issues than natural causes and it becomes moreimportant over the time. human effects on desertification could be classified as direct and indirect factors. this studyhas focused on the effect of management factor, as a dominant case, on desertification of kashan region based onimdpa (imdpa: iranian model of desertification for potentia...

Desertification process as a great problem affects most of the countries in the world specially developing countries. This process has a high rate in arid and semi-arid countries such as Iran. The main objective of this research was to investigate land degradation status and desertification mapping of Kashan area. Different studies have been carried out in the world in order to assess desertifi...

abstract desertification could cause reduction of the ecological and biological potential of land which may occur both naturally and artificially. identifying and evaluating the effective factors in development of desertification is very important for better management of land. the aim of this research is to evaluate the sensitive input parameters in the desertification condition by using of ar...

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...

desertification is a major problem in many countries. international efforts have been considered to combat and prevent this phenomenon. the most important cases of these measures are the united nations convention to combat desertification. in this study, imdpa model and gis were used to assess desertification phenomena in kashan plain. some indices of climate and water criteria were selected to...

Desertification in north China is ongoing despite the endeavours to mitigate it over the past 50 years. Overall examination of the context of desertification and defects of desertification-combating programmes is a prerequisite for desertification control, which is now attracting general concern in China. The physiographic circumstances of north China, including the dry, continental, mid-latitu...

desertification relates to the both the process and end state of drylands degradation. salinization and alkalinization are two indicators of soil degradation in arid and semi-arid regions. the main objectives of this research is monitoring of soil salinity using high spectral and spatial resolution of remote sensing to assess desertification in the marvast plain, yazd province. two images of te...
