Login Grass cover for Bouteloua eriopoda through time (Click here to see all long term graphs) The Jornada Basin Long Term Ecological Research program, in collaboration with the USDA ARS Jornada Experimental Range, studies the causes and consequences of desertification: the broad scale expansion of woody plants into grasslands that results in more "desert like" conditions. We are interested in spatial and temporal variation in desertification dynamics, and how historic legacies, the geomorphic template, transport vectors (wind, water, animals), and environmental drivers (climate, land use, disturbance) interact with the patch structure of the vegetation to determine past, present, and future ecosystem dynamics across scales.

87. Wichí: Fighting For Survival In Argentina
The 20,000 to 50,000 Wich living in southeastern Bolivia and northern Argentina, in a semi-arid region known as the Chaco, are threatened by desertification.
http://saiic.nativeweb.org/ayn/wichi.html
In 1991 the Indians, working with Survival International, an NGO based in England, prepared a land claim report that demonstrated that at least 162,000 acres spread over the two State Plots traditionally belonged to them. Later that year, the provincial Governor signed a decree (No. 2609/91) recognizing that the area was indeed Indigenous land, and pledging to recognize this in law. The succeeding Salta government failed to take any decisive action, and allowed the situation to deteriorate dramatically. Shortly before leaving office at the end of last year, the same government presented a draft land bill to the provincial parliament that is completely against the interests of the Indians and, if approved, would deprive them of huge tracts of their territory. Compiled with permission from publications of: Survival for Tribal Peoples; 11-15 Emerald Street; London WC1N 3QL; United Kingdom; phone: 0171-242-1441; fax: 0171-242-1771; email: survival@gn.apc.org For the Titling of Our Land: Takeover of the International Bridge Over the Pilcomayo River (La Paz) Many years have passed since we requested the government of Salta province, Argentina, to officially grant us title to the land that we have always inhabited. We have sent letters. Meetings take place, new laws and decrees are passed, and yet more topographic studies... We are now in the fourth administration. Yet they have not responded to our demands. Years pass and our lands become impoverished, because the people who have come from the outside to occupy them Know not how to manage them. Years pass and we become poorer.

88. A Guide For Desert And Dryland Restoration
Provides information on a book by David A. Bainbridge about restoring drylands and arid regions. Contents of each chapter are described.
http://www.desertrestore.org
Book Chapters: Solutions
Chapter 5: Restoration approaches and planning
Chapter 6: Restoration equipment and supplies
Chapter 7: Project management
Chapter 8: Soil salvage and restoration
Chapter 9: Seed collection, storage and management
Chapter 10: Container production and planting
Chapter 11: Direct seeding
Chapter 12: Water management and irrigation
Chapter 13: Riparian restoration
Chapter 14: Restoration in use Chapter 15: Restoration monitoring Chapter 16: The challenge ahead ABOUT THE BOOK Dryland degradation and desertification now affect almost a billion people around the world. Tragically, the biological resources and productivity of millions of acres of land are lost to desertification each year because people remain unaware of strategies and techniques that could improve yields, reduce risk, and begin healing the world’s deserts. A Guide for Desert and Dryland Restoration is the first book to offer practical, field-tested solutions to this critical problem.

90. Adaptive Strategies For Sustainable Livelihoods In Arid And Semi-Arid Lands (ASA
of ASALs Project in Africa, along with outputs, findings, significance and bibliography.......
http://www.iisd.org/casl/ASALProjectDetails/IISDProjectASAL.htm
Adaptive Strategies for Sustainable Livelihoods in Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) Project Under existing conditions (of externally driven development policies, concentration on the cash economy and existing trade relations), the typical responses of the poor have been to appropriate common property resources, intensify agriculture on marginal lands, increase heads of livestock and shorten fallow periods; migrate seasonally or permanently to cities, towns, agricultural plantations and to more vulnerable and marginal lands; and have large families in order to diversify sources of income and labor. These responses generally have not provided long-term benefits to the poor. However, there is a growing interest in the poor as agents for their own self improvement guided by their own knowledge base and strategies which could lead to sustainable livelihoods. Our preparatory workshops confirmed the need for clear and detailed documentation of adaptive strategies that have led to sustainable livelihoods and the policy issues that enhance or constrain the development and implementation of these strategies. These strategies are likely to have evolved from an interaction between contemporary and indigenous knowledge. Hence the initiative sought to capture these synergies and the conditions and processes which produced and reinforced them. It was recognized that these strategies were diverse and included adaptations to ecological, social, political and cultural risks and shocks.

91. Desertification & Climate Change

Vi kan plante svære nye grønne energiskoger i ørkenland for å binde karbon i stor skala og gjøre verden kjøligre. Vi kan produsere store mengder elektrisk energi i subtropiske strøk med store soldrevne pumpekraftverk.
Alt med rimelige kostnader med bruk av solenergi, for menneskehetens framtidige velstand og utvikling.
Solenergi:
Klimatrusselens motkraft.
