Prioritizing effective indicators of desertification hazard using factor-cluster analysis, in arid regions of Iran

The socio-ecological system of the pre-Sahara zone of Morocco: a conceptual framework to analyse the impact of drought and desertification

“…However, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reported with high confidence that the risks from desertification are projected to increase due to climate change (Mirzabaev et al, 2019). This association between dry conditions, drought, and desertification was demonstrated in Akbari et al, (2020aAkbari et al, ( , 2020b.…”

“…The climatic factors comprise precipitation decrease, temperature increase, and droughts are considered the major drivers of desertification (Jiang et al, 2019). In turn, desertification influences seriously both natural resources and human beings (Akbari et al, 2020a(Akbari et al, , 2020b. The understanding of the factors may play an important role in adequate land management (Akbari et al, 2020a(Akbari et al, , 2020b mainly in arid and semi-arid areas of North African countries such as Morocco.…”
