Land Degradation and Desertification Feedback Loops

This process is geographically determination. Steep slopes with thin soils (highly slenable physical geography) are rapidly degraded when vegetation is removed. Semi- arid areas with with difficar, intense rainfall (rain shadow climates) are most prone to this runoff- degradden degradation. The loss of soil and vegetation turns a marginal landscape into a highly duught- designable one, creating a permanent state of aridity even with a decline meen petion.

Effective drought management strategies must be rooted in this geographic reality. Nature- based solutions are non t universally applicable; they mutt be facioned.
