Guidelines for combating soil erosion and desertification with plants
... Land degradation through desertification typically occurs in vulnerable, semi-dry areas. As a result of degradation processes, soil is eroded, its quality deteriorates and vegetation cover is lost. When intense seasonal rainfall does occur, water tends to flow down the bare landscape, rather than so ...
