Drylands occupied a large area of lands on Earth and a large percentage of the population are living in these areas. Land degradation or desertification is one of the biggest problems in arid zones. In general, little effort for mapping land degradation at regional to global scales has been made. Recent efforts to assess desertification in Iran led to devise the Iranian Model of Desertification...

Today one of the ecological crisis is the phenomenon of desertification that affecting the world. Desertification is more related to social and anthropogenic issues than natural causes and it becomes more important over the time. Monitoringis the systematic collection and analysis of information as a project progresses. In this study, using AHP method and GIS techniques has been to assess deser...

Recognition of desertification criteria and indices and determining the most effective factors on it are the first steps for logical planning to combat desertification. In this study, the sensitivity of the Jaz-Murian region to desertification was evaluated using IMDPA model which is one of the desertification assessment methods in arid and semi-arid regions, on the basis of geology-geomorpholo...

Desertification is one of the major issues threatening human communities. Manymethods have been developed for assessment and mapping of desertification hazards. In thisresearch, multi-criteria evaluation method was used to investigate desertification process inTrouti watershed, Golestan Province, Iran. At the first step, major desertification factors weredetermined by doing field surveys. They ...

In order to deal desertification phenomenon it is necessary to identify its producing and increases causes. For this purpose several studies conducted inside and outside the country that have been led to submit regional models.. Each of these models has different pattern and use different indicators which can lead to different results. In this study, Fakhrabad plain of Mehriz region by extent o...

Most remote sensing studies in deserts focus solely on vegetation monitoring to assess the extent of desertification. However, the application of sand dune encroachment into such studies would greatly improve the accuracy in the prediction criteria of risk-prone areas. This study applies the latter methodology for tracking desertification using sand dunes in the Kelso Dunes (in Newberry-Baker, ...

The Global Drylands Observing System proposed in this issue should reduce the huge uncertainty about the extent of desertification and the rate at which it is changing, and provide valuable information to scientists, planners and policy-makers. However, it needs careful design if information outputs are to be scientifically credible and salient to the needs of people living in dry areas. Its de...

Many assumptions have been made about the nature and character of desertification in West Africa. This paper examines the history of this issue, reviews the current state of our knowledge concerning the meteorological aspects of desertification, and presents the results of a select group of analyses related to this question. The common notion of desertification is of an advancing “desert,” a ge...
