Desertification is the process by which fertile land becomes desert-like, with little or no vegetation and low productivity. Besides, it is a serious problem that affects millions of hectares of land around the world. It can have a range of negative impacts on ecosystems, food security, and human well-being. Soil is a vital component of…

Desertification and climate change are closely linked, with desertification often being driven or exacerbated by climate change. Desertification is the process by which land becomes increasingly dry and barren, often due to a combination of human activities and environmental factors. Climate change, on the other hand, is the long-term warming of the Earth’s surface and…
