Description
Abstract
Desertification, as a process of degradation caused by the confluence of certain arid or semiarid climatic conditions together with aggressive and barely sustainable human activities in
the natural and productive environment, and also bearing in mind the current context of
climate change, is an environmental phenomenon whose monitoring would seem to be
advisable, both with regard to its evolution in recent years and in relation to the changes that
the new climatic scenarios may determine, in order to prepare mitigation or enhancement
strategies, and also to raise greater awareness of the approaching problems.
The availability of historical information in a Geographic Information System referring to land
uses and land cover and to climatic data, together with other environmental information
(relief, soils, geology, environment management.....), as well as decade-by-decade climatic
information on possible future change scenarios until 2100 in the Andalusian Environmental
Information Network (REDIAM), has permitted, within the framework the European projects
DesertNet I and DesertNet II, the development of models for diagnosing the areas affected
by historical desertification processes and the areas of present and future incidence, while at
the same time a common methodology is applied to the European context for the delimitation
of degradation-sensitive areas. These models have been applied to the entire territory of
Andalusia, providing a view of the temporal and spatial incidence of this phenomenon.
