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...

This study investigated the perceived importance of scholars' participation in combating-desertification programs in northwest China and analyzed the underlying factors and mechanisms. Our results show that, while various experts, professors, and researchers have participated in combating-desertification programs, their actions were often not effective. Only those scholars who understood the lo...

Abstract Desertification is one of the fundamental problems that threaten many arid and semi-arid areas. The formulation of the United Nation Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), adopted in Paris, 1994 and ratified in 1996, with the active participation of Egypt, gave emphasis on combating the major threats to sustainability of dry lands. Recently, different models were developed to fo...

continuous desertification of arable lands mandates use of low quality/ saline water for irrigation, especially in regions experiencing water shortage. using low quality/ saline water for irrigation imposes more stress on plants that are already under stress in these regions. thus, a logical solution will be to find a salt/ drought-tolerant plant species that will survive/sustain under such str...

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...

The differential game method effectively reflects the multi-agent, long-term, and dynamic characteristics of combating regional desertification. Considering differences in levels economic development level governance technology between adjacent areas, three desertification-combating modes are proposed for exploratory purposes. models two regions desertification areas constructed as per certain ...
