Desertification was defined as the degradation of drylands in the dry, hyperarid, semi-arid and dry subhumid zones (Mainguet, ch. 36; Nasr, ch. 37). In this chapter land degradation is defined as the reduction or the loss of productivity of renewable natural resources in areas cultivated in rainfed or irrigated agriculture on natural steppe, grassland, dry forest, or woodland (Mainguet 1994). This degradation is detectable by climatic, biologic, édaphic, and hydrological indicators.
