Soil & Water Resources Management for Combating Desertification in Drylands under Climate Change
Desertification, land degradation, and climate change represent some of the most daunting global environmental challenges of the 21st century. These issues are particularly critical in arid and semi-arid regions, where fragile ecosystems are highly vulnerable to climate variability and anthropogenic pressures. It is estimated that more than two billion people worldwide rely on these ecosystems for their livelihoods, food security, and access to water.
