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.
