desertification due to intensive agriculture and land degradation,locationson the shoulders of deserts, and susceptibility to drought. California, as it is a leading agricultural state with large urban populations, serves as a prime example for the effects of poor land management increasing the ...
Environmentalists have to carefully select hardy flora that can withstand the altitude and environment, such as the Mulberry Tree."We choose plants which have better desertification control effects in the inland regions. However, we also have to consider the differences of environmenta...
Based on the numeric index, environmental scientists prepared a map of the region, which highlights the major factors that cause desertification. As per the map, 10.4 percent of Mongolia's land doesn't show any effects of these factors or any signs of desertification, 1.9 percent of the effect...
Frequency Dependent Invasion in a Spatial Environment We investigate the spatio-temporal dynamics of two species in a two-dimensional system. The spread of each species depends non-linearly on the local frequency of its kind in its surrounding (expressed by two parameters $\\alpha_{1}$, $\\....
Due to the potential significant effects of desertification on China’s ecology and food security, the Chinese government has carried out several desertification-combating actions to improve vegetation condition3,4, and since the early 2000s, more major countermeasures involving widespread “grain-for-gr...
