This study aims to implement the Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) concept on a test site: the 309 km² Nahr Ibrahim watershed Lebanon, by integrating soil erosion as an LDN indicator given its status as a land degradation driver and common concern of the Mediterranean region. Land degradation was mapped, and erosion risk maps were also established. Through LDN's response strategy, an alternative LDN based land use/land cover (LU/LC) scenario was obtained. The LDN scenario was then tested for adoption as a counter-erosion measure. Under current land occupation conditions, a 63.54% (194 km²), 4.20% (12.82 km²) and 32.32% (98.7 km²) distribution of lands being underutilized, managed within their capability, and being used in a manner that exceeds their capability, respectively, was found. Soil erosion risks under current conditions were distributed as 3.88%, 38.19% and 54.48% low, moderate and high erosion risks, respectively. Following the proposed LDN scenario, 86.7 km² (28% of the basin) were restored, while erosion risks shifted to 5.19%, 45.66% and 45.71% for low, moderate, and high erosion risks, respectively. The presented approach revealed the efficiency of LDN not only as a land restoration tool, but also as a powerful counter-erosion measure.

这项研究旨在通过将土壤侵蚀作为LDN指标，考虑到其作为土地退化驱动因素的地位以及地中海地区的共同关注点，在一个测试地点：黎巴嫩309 km ² Nahr Ibrahim流域上实施土地退化中性（LDN）概念。。绘制了土地退化图，并建立了侵蚀风险图。通过LDN的响应策略，获得了基于LDN的替代土地使用/土地覆盖（LU / LC）方案。然后测试了LDN方案是否可以用作反侵蚀措施。在当前土地占用条件下，分别为63.54％（194 km ²），4.20％（12.82 km ²）和32.32％（98.7 km ^2））分别发现了土地利用不足，在其能力范围内进行管理并以超出其能力的方式使用的土地分配。当前条件下的土壤侵蚀风险分别为低，中和高侵蚀风险，分别为3.88％，38.19％和54.48％。根据提议的LDN情景，恢复了86.7 km ²（流域的28％），而对于低，中度和高侵蚀风险，侵蚀风险分别变为5.19％，45.66％和45.71％。提出的方法揭示了LDN不仅作为土地恢复工具的效率，而且还作为强大的反侵蚀措施。
