Desertification alters the response of vegetation to changes in precipitation

2010-12-01

Abstract excerpt

1. Desertification is of critical concern because it may affect 40% of the global land area inhabited by more than 1 billion people. During the process of desertification, defined as land degradation in arid, semi‐arid and dry subhumid areas, drylands shift to a state of reduced biological productivity that may lead to widespread loss of human well‐being. Despite recent advances, we need a better understanding of...
