- 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 - Millioner af verdens fattigste mennesker er truet af ørkenspredning. Hvert år bliver ca. 70.000 kvadratkilometer frugtbar jord - halvanden gange Danmarks størrelse - forvandlet til ørken. - viden.jp.dk (Jyllands-Posten)

- Definition(s)
- मरुस्थलीकरण से तात्पर्य उस प्रक्रिया से है जिससे विश्व भर के शुष्क क्षेत्रों में उपजाऊ जमीन अनुपजाऊ जमीन में बदल रही है। मानव गतिविधियां और भौगोलिक परिवर्तन, दोनों इसके लिए जिम्मेदार हैं। शुष्क क्षेत्र उन इलाकों को कहते हैं जहां उतनी बारिश नहीं होती कि घनी हरियाली पनप सके। कुदरतनामा - by C.M. Rawal
- Example sentence(s)
- मरुस्थलीकरण (रेगिस्तान का फैलना) आज विश्व भर में एक विकट समस्या बन गया है। उससे बड़ी संख्या में मनुष्य प्रभावित हो रहे हैं क्योंकि रेत का साम्राज्य बढ़ने से अन्न का उत्पादन घटता है और अनेक प्राकृतिक तंत्रों की धारण क्षमता कम होती है। पर्यावरण भी उसके कुप्रभावों से अछूता नहीं रह पाता।
