dc.description.abstract | Desertification is a state shift to which global drylands are very sensitive. It has both human and
climatic causes which are dependent on the region and time. China is a country which has large
areas of dryland that are affected by desertification dynamics. To determine the extent to which
human activities contribute to these dynamics in China, a meta-analysis is conducted with recent
literature on desertification and its causes. There seems to be a general trend that human factors
have a bigger influence on desertification expansion compared to climatic factors, while for
reversion of desertification climatic factors are more important. | |
