risk assessment provides the possibility of planning and management to prevent and reduce the risk of desertification. the present study is aimed to assess the hazard and risk of desertification and to develop management programs in the semi-arid western regions of golestan province in iran. desertification rate was obtained using the iranian model of desertification potential assessment. since...

combating desertification which is a serious threat for the environment and human welfare requires understanding complex issues of this phenomenon using evaluation, awareness of severity of it's processes and determination of it's factors. so here, after recognizing the characteristics of the region showing existence desertification, we assess its current status with emphasis on clima...

one of the characters in iranian model of desertification potential assessment (imdpa) is soil. since soil is very important in the degradation of land, so some indices were determined for this character in order to evaluate desertification potential of arid, semi-arid and dry sub humid areas of iran. the indices included soil texture, deep gravel percentage, soil depth, and ec. to calibrate th...
