English term or phrase:
desertification
Dutch translation:
verwoestijning
English term
desertification
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?)

verwoestijning
Die toenemende verwoestijning is enerzijds het gevolg van de klimaatwijziging, die zorgt voor opwarming en verminderde neerslag (Mondiaal Nieuws)
De processen die aan de achteruitgang van het Middenlandse-Zeegebied ten grondslag liggen, zijn allemaal te vangen onder de term verwoestijning of desertificatie. Bij de ergste vorm van desertificatie ontstaan echte woestijnlandschappen. (kennislink)
