Desertification baseline: A bottleneck for addressing desertification

Earth-Science Reviews
The desertification baseline is the standard to measure the severity of desertification and is imperative to achieve the target of land degradation neutrality of UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15.3. However, desertification baselines are fragmented because of various modeling approaches and incompatible thresholds of indicators, leading to the ...

An Operatorial Description of Desertification

SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, 2016
Summary: We propose a simple theoretical model for desertification processes based on three actors (soil, seeds, and plants) on a two-dimensional lattice. Each actor is described by a time dependent fermionic operator, and the dynamics is ruled by a self-adjoint Hamilton-like operator.

Desertification

2001
The phenomenon of desertification involves the loss of biological or economic productivity and biodiversity in arid and semiarid croplands, pastures, rangelands, and subhumid woodlands due mainly to nonsustainable human activities, such as overcultivation, fuel gathering, overgrazing by domestic animals, deforestation, and poor irrigation practices ...

Desertification and Desertification Indicators Classification (DPSIR)

2014
Desertification is one of the main driver of global famine and intensive urbanization. Fertile soil that passes the process of desertification cannot be reversed and it is lost for many decades. Basically the process is the degradation of soil. Soil degradation is not necessarily continuous.
