Desertification Indicators System for Mediterranean Europe
The desertification indicators
system for Mediterranean Europe has been developed by the DESERTLINKS
project. It gives access to around 150 indicators of relevance
to Mediterranean desertification. It has been designed to provide
a tool to enable users from a wide range of backgrounds (including
scientists, policymakers and farmers) to:
- identify where desertification
is a problem,
- assess how critical the
problem is,
- better understand the processes
of desertification.
The work is scheduled for
completion by the end of March 2005, and until then it should
be treated as a prototype, subject to continued development and
improvement. However, already around 100 indicators have been
fully described, their use at local and regional scales has been
demonstrated, and tools to calculate composite indices of desertification
status and risk have been completed.
You are welcome to access
the indicator system and give us your comments and feedback. To
