Desertification 3
Desertification 3 : The process by which a semi-arid (dry land) ecosystem loses its capacity for seasonal revival or repair and progresses towards becoming a desert. This process causes environmental degradation well beyond its boundaries. It is a mixed event related to natural (lack of adequate rainfall, seasonal variations in evaporation, texture and structure of the soil, topography, types of vegetation, water, and wind erosion) and human-made actions (herd growth, technological interference, slash-burn agriculture). Desertification is a slow-onset type of event
