- La désertification est un phénomène naturel ou non qui a pour origine des variations climatiques et/ou les conséquences d'activités humaines. Ce mot décrit une aridification locale, reflétant la dégradation des terres menant à des conditions biotiques de type désertique. Wikipédia - by Kévin Bacquet
- Example sentence(s)
- Un tiers de la superficie des terres émergées du globe (4 milliards d’hectares) est menacé par la désertification, et plus de 250 millions de personnes sont directement affectées par ce problème. 24 milliards de tonnes de sols fertiles disparaissent chaque année. Entre 1991 et 2000, les sécheresses ont entraîné la mort de plus de 280 000 personnes; elles représentent 11% de l’ensemble des catastrophes naturelles liées à l’eau. - Année internationale de l'eau douce by Kévin Bacquet

- Den definition av ökenspridning som används i FN-konventionen om bekämpning av ökenspridning är "markförstörelse i torra (arid), halvtorra (semi-arid) och torra subhumida områden som resultat av olika faktorer, inklusive klimatvariationer och mänskliga verksamheter". Vattenportalen - by Åsa Valley
- Example sentence(s)
- Ökenspridning kan uppkomma på grund av att vegetationen inom ett område har skadats, t.ex. vid klimatförändringar. - nationalencyklopedin by Åsa Valley
- En annan aktuell orsak till ökenspridning är försaltning av konstbevattnade jordar p g a otillräcklig dränering. - SLU, Sveriges Lantbruksuniversitet by Åsa Valley
- Människan har en direkt påverkar på ökenspridning genom skövling av skog, vilket till exempel inträffar i Kina, och tappning av sjöar till konstbevattning, vilket har skett med Aralsjön. - Wikipedia by Åsa Valley

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
