Desertification is the process by which land in arid, semi-arid, and dry sub-humid areas loses its natural productivity due to climate change and human activities. This phenomenon is characterized by a reduction in vegetation cover, depletion of water resources, and soil erosion. Desertification does not only refer to the expansion of existing deserts but also to the acquisition of desert-like characteristics by previously productive lands.
