Desertification and drought in Europe - Implications and perspectives related to climate change
On global as well as regional scale, desertification or some of its effects (usually much more visible on local scale) are spreading rapidly in the last decades. Since the desertification on global level is recognized as one of the most important threats to land/soil/agriculture, our perceptions regarding desertification, are very changed. Essentially, desertification as a threat is known from ancient times, sometimes with cataclysmic results (e.g. collapse of civilizations), but its mechanisms are still not very well known. In present time and possible in near future the main multiplier of negative desertification effects is climate change. At the same time, direct result of climate change (not always but usually, and in future probably most frequently) is drought which is recognized as one of the most degradable extreme events in nature. These three factors are in very closely, interconnected, and they can be trigger and/or consequence of each other. Many negative effects result from that relations and includes every human and natural aspect as well as economy sectors. Some of these negative effects, which affect soil and agriculture on the most important ways, are: soil erosion, loss of (agro)biodiversity, decreasing crop production (mainly yields and crop types), decreasing livestock production (mainly as consequence of insufficient feed production), reduce water quality, loss of soil fertility, soil salinization, loss of soil organic matter, etc. All these phenomena lead to the degradation of the physical–chemical–biological complex of soil. Expected negative consequence of desertification, as results of its negative natural implications, as major can be listed as: reduction in food production and in the same time increasing food insecurity, loss of livelihoods, poverty and migrations. Possible solutions related to desertification and drought can be divided to proactive and reactive approaches with different measures for prevention and restoration. According to the aforementioned, major desertification patterns follow the next algorithm or scheme: causes – consequences – solutions – actions. Currently the only thing that we can and must do is act.
