Desertification Indicators

Desertification Indicators is a systematic framework used in environmental science to identify, measure, and monitor the biophysical and socio-economic signs of land degradation in arid, semi-arid, and dry sub-humid ecosystems, distinguishing it from general environmental indicators by its specific focus on processes and impacts associated with desertification.
