- 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

- 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

- Definition(s)
- ørkenspredning, forvandling af områder med naturlig eller kulturskabt vegetation til golde ørkenlandskaber. Dette kan både skyldes klimaændringer og menneskers udnyttelse af jorden. Den Store Danske Encyklopædi - by Anna Haxen
- Example sentence(s)
- Begrebet ørkenspredning (eng. desertification) vandt fodfæste i den globale miljødebat efter nogle alvorlige tørkeår syd for Sahara i 1970'erne; tørken resulterede i hungersnød og flygtningestrømme og fik stor international bevågenhed (se Sahel). - Den Store Danske Encyklopædi by Anna Haxen

- 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?
