Evaluating the desertification risk assessment tool with local experimental results |
Author: Victor Jetten
Introduction
Also the problems of soil erosion and soil degradation are caused by the Mediterranean type of climate (heavy rainfall in winter) and inappropriate land management practices. Experiments were carried out on the experimental farm to decrease surface runoff and soil losses and to improve soil water availability for growing crops.
