- La desertización es un proceso por el cual una biocenosis pierde su humedad natural y se desencadenan largos períodos de sequía, de tal manera que la aridez provoca la desaparición de las especies presentes y surgen especies con menos exigencias de agua o, en su caso, se extinguen por completo en favor del desierto. laguia 2000 - Geografía - by Miguel Armentia

- Definition(s)
- Aavikoituminen seuraa, kun maaperä kuivuu ja rappeutuu niin, ettei maa pysty ylläpitämään ekosysteemin perustuotantoa. Liian intensiivisen maanviljelyn ja liikalaidunnuksen sekä metsäkadon seurauksena maaperä menettää kykynsä palautua kuivien jaksojen jälkeen ja ylläpitää ekosysteemejä. Paljas maa on erittäin herkkä eroosiolle. Ruoantuotannon kannalta aavikoituminen on alueellinen katastrofi, sillä aavikoitunut maa on viljelykelvotonta. ilmasto.org - by PeeGee (X)
- Example sentence(s)
- Ymmärrämme aavikoitumisen helposti hiekka-aavikoiden leviämisenä. Todellisuudessa kysymys on kuivuus-alueiden ympäristön vähittäisestä turmeltumisesta. Aavikoitumisongelman taustalta löytyy yleensä köyhyys, mihin kytkeytyy voimakas väestönkasvu, luonnonvarojen liiallinen käyttö ja epäselvät maanomistusolot. Ihmisen aiheuttama, luonnollista huomattavasti nopeampi ilmastonmuutos kiihdyttää aavikoitumista. Aavikoitumisen välittömiä syitä ovat metsäkato sekä kestämättömät viljely-, kastelu- ja laidunjärjestelmät. - Aavikko/Suomen YK-liitto by PeeGee (X)

- Opustinjavanje (desertifikacija; dezertifikacija) – proces širenja pustinja, najčešće izazvan ljudskim faktorom usled neracionalnog korišćenja sušnih, polupustinjskih oblasti (krčenjem i uništavanjem travnog i šumskog pokrivača). Ovaj proces je naročito važan u zemljama koje su u pustinjskim zonama zbog smanjivanja poljoprivrednih površina. Own research - by V&M Stanković
- Example sentence(s)
- Opustinjavanje je izraženo u Srbiji, naročito u istočnom delu Srbije i Vojvodini. - MIN. POLJ, ŠUM. I VODOPRIV. by V&M Stanković
- Klima je na jugu tropska, a na severu vruća pustinjska. Glavni ekološki problemi su erozija tla i opustinjavanje. - Vikipedija by V&M Stanković
- Skoro polovina šuma ove planete (oko 7,4 milijarde ari) je posečena, dok 39,5 miliona ari šuma nestaje svake godine – smanjujući raznolikost flore i faune, izazivajući opustinjavanje predela, zagađenost vode i smanjenje životnog standarda lokalnog stanovništva. - ekapija by V&M Stanković

- Definition(s)
- The process through which a desert takes over a formerly non-desert area. When a region begins to undergo desertification, the new conditions typically include a significantly lowered water table, a reduced supply of surface water, increased salinity in natural waters and soils, progressive destruction of native vegetation, and an accelerated rate of erosion. CENGAGE Learning
- Example sentence(s)
- In addition to vegetation deterioration, erosion, and salinization, desertification effects can be seen in loss of soil fertility, soil compaction, and soil crusting - DESERTIFICATION OF ARID LANDS
- Common indicators of desertification include a reduction in the amount and diversity of plant and animal species, loss of water-retention capacity, lessened soil fertility, and increasing wind and water erosion. - Desertification
- Desertification creates conditions that intensify wildfires and stirring winds, adding to the tremendous pressure to earth's most precious resource, water, and, of course, the animals dependant on it. - Did you know?
