The challenge and future of rocky desertification control in karst areas in southwest China [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2016 Karst rocky desertification occurs after vegetation deteriorates as a result of intensive land use, which leads to severe water loss and soil erosion and exposes basement rocks, creating a rocky landscape.

A study on poverty caused by rocky desertification in karst areas of China
Carsologica Sinica, 2022 Rocky desertification is a land degradation process that changes a karst area covered by soil and vegetation to a rocky, desert-like landscape, which causes not only ecological problems but also serious social problems.
