Fate can be changed! Arid rangelands in a globalizing world – A complementary co-evolutionary perspective on the current ‘desert syndrome’

2014-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Degradation in arid rangelands is an on-going concern, as they appear to be trapped in a vicious circle of desertification–marginalization–impoverishment. Recent theoretical developments in dryland research strive to provide keys to understanding linked social-ecological systems and land management. One approach, the desert-syndrome, depicts the socio-ecological evolution of drylands as being determined mainly by...
