            • 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। - कुदरतनामा by C.M. Rawal

          • Definition(s)
            • 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.

          • 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?
