Abstract

The assessment of the situation of global desertification emphasizes the need for information characterizing the global progress of arid degradation and the damage caused by it. Amid the current climate warming, more regions will be affected by droughts, which compromise the sustainability of degrading lands. Concurrently, the drought frequency intensely increases in arid regions. The efforts of scientists and practical workers over the past 25 years, which is reflected in the journal Arid Ecosystems, made it possible to obtain final information about the degradation patterns of soils, vegetation, and animal life. Based on the scientific achievements in the field of anthropogenic dynamics of desertification processes and the formation of the resource-study potential of individual components of arid ecosystems, it is necessary to develop a sound approach to the strategy and to identify implementation methods for the presented concepts, programs, and projects. The generalizations of theoretical findings in the field of the soil-cover productivity and sustainability restoration made it possible to present a fundamental research concept for arid lands of the world in the form of an independent concept of a “green economy”. Its main distinctive feature is a differentiation of the effects caused by the human factor on the natural and medical–biological blocks. Assessment of the effects caused by the social situation of people living under the conditions of droughts, hot winds, and climate warming is an integral part of the second block.

制定世界干旱土地研究战略的重点

摘要

对全球荒漠化状况的评估强调，需要提供表征干旱退化及其造成的破坏的全球进展的信息。在当前气候变暖的背景下，更多地区将受到干旱的影响，干旱会损害土地退化的可持续性。同时，干旱地区的干旱频率急剧增加。在过去的25年中，科学家和实践工作者的努力在《干旱生态系统》杂志中得到了体现可以获取有关土壤，植被和动物生命的退化模式的最终信息。基于荒漠化过程人为动力学领域的科学成就以及干旱生态系统各个组成部分的资源研究潜力的形成，有必要为该战略制定合理的方法并确定所提出概念的实施方法，程序和项目。对土壤覆盖生产力和可持续性恢复领域理论研究的概括，使得有可能以独立的“绿色经济”概念的形式提出世界干旱土地的基本研究概念。它的主要特点是区分人为因素对自然和医学生物学的影响。评估干旱，热风和气候变暖条件下人们的社会状况所造成的影响是第二个组成部分。
