Land Tenure in Support of Land Degradation Neutrality

Land degradation neutrality (LDN) as a broad framework guiding research, policy and practice has gained considerable attention in recent years-particularly since the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) established LDN as its primary operating framework in 2015. As Target 15.3 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) intends to

A Gradient-Based Index for Multiscale Mapping of Land Degradation in Brazil

Remote Sensing
Global land degradation metrics often rely on trend-based categories that miss cumulative severity, frequently misclassifying degraded areas as stable. To overcome this, we developed a Land Degradation Index (LDI) to assess degradation across Brazil on a
