Definition from
CENGAGE Learning:
The process through which a desert takes over a formerly non-desert area. When a region begins to undergo desertification, the new conditions typically include a significantly lowered water table, a reduced supply of surface water, increased salinity in natural waters and soils, progressive destruction of native vegetation, and an accelerated rate of erosion.
Example sentences:
In addition to vegetation deterioration, erosion, and salinization, desertification effects can be seen in loss of soil fertility, soil compaction, and soil crusting (DESERTIFICATION OF ARID LANDS)
Common indicators of desertification include a reduction in the amount and diversity of plant and animal species, loss of water-retention capacity, lessened soil fertility, and increasing wind and water erosion. (Desertification)
Desertification creates conditions that intensify wildfires and stirring winds, adding to the tremendous pressure to earth's most precious resource, water, and, of course, the animals dependant on it. (Did you know?)

Definition from
Hrvatsko geografsko društvo:
Prema definiciji Konvencije UN-a za suzbijanje dezertifikacije (UNCCD) dezertifikacija je degradacija tla u sušnim, polusušnim i umjereno vlažnim dijelovima svijeta.
Example sentences:
Dezertifikacija je proces oštećenja zemljišta koji se događa širom svijeta kao posljedica ljudskih djelovanja i klimatskih promjena. (Agencija za zaštitu okoliša)
Osnovni cilj Konvencije je suzbijanje dezertifikacije i oštećenja tla i zemljišta, te ublažavanje posljedica suše učinkovitim djelovanjima na svim razinama u okviru cjelovitog pristupa održivog razvoja, a što se među inim postiže sprečavanjem i/ili ublažavanjem oštećenja tla i zemljišta, obnavljanjem djelomično oštećenih tala i zemljišta, i melioracijom zemljišta zahvaćenih dezertifikacijom. (Okoliš - glasilo MZOPUG)
Dezertifikacija ili desertifikacija (=napredovanje, širenje pustinje) je proces pogoršanja kvalitete tla u relativno sušnim područjima aridne i poluaridne klime. (Wikipedia)
