there have been different indices identified for desertification. among these is technogenic desertification index which seems much more efficient. in this study, some of technogenic desertification indices were studied and evaluated. first land use maps of the region were taken from irs-pan satellite image and aerial photos analysis. after evaluating the area of different uses, lands that had ...

In a utopian world, our communication technology would have “brick wall” filters, nodistortion amplifiers and mixers, and well-coordinated spectrum operations. In the real world, communications are prone to various types of unintentional and intentional interference of technogenic (man-made) origin that can disrupt critical defense communication systems, with the impacts ranging from slight red...

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...

A particular sequence of patterns, 'gaps→labyrinth→spots', occurs with decreasing precipitation in previously reported numerical simulations of partial differential equation dryland vegetation models. These observations have led to the suggestion that this sequence of patterns can serve as an early indicator of desertification in some ecosystems. Because parameter values in the vegetation model...

Land desertification is one of the most serious environmental and social-economic problems in the North China. The processes of desertification mainly have being controlled by the interaction of human activities and fragile eco-environment, that means the pattern and intension of landuse are major factors for development or reverse of desertification. Because of the increasing pressure of popul...

Desertification is a serious threat to the ecological environment and social economy in our world and there is a pressing need to develop a reasonable and reproducible method to assess it at different scales. In this paper, the Ordos Plateau in China was selected as the research region and a quantitative method for desertification assessment was developed by using Landsat MSS and TM/ETM+ data o...
