Mapping

Two parallel and complementary methods were used to map the extent of desertification and restoration measures in the study areas:

• The "WOCAT" mapping method, based on participatory expert assessment;
• The GLADA mapping method: using NDVI analysis of a 26 year time series, as has been applied in the LADA project.
