The global problem of land degradation and desertification

Auteur :
KERTÉSZ, Á.

Description :
Degradation processes within subhumid, semi-arid and arid areas are defined as desertification processes to draw attention to the specific dangerous situation in these areas. Hungary signed the Convention on Desertification, as increasing aridity is a real national danger, especially on the Danube-Tisza interfluve. There are areas in Hungary corresponding to desertification definitions. Thus, desertification research is an important challenge for Hungarian geography. - (AM)
