Drylands are home to more than 38% of the world's population and are one of the most
sensitive areas to climate change and human activities. This review describes recent …

Global drylands encompassing hyper-arid, arid, semiarid, and dry subhumid areas cover
about 41 percent of the earth's terrestrial surface and are home to more than a third of the …

Drying of terrestrial areas is a critical issue in our era of climate change. However, there is
limited knowledge on the current spatial status of drylands, which can be assessed using …

As reported in previous studies, global warming has caused a clear uptick in dryland areas
since the 1950s. Meanwhile, the accelerated expansion of drylands has become particularly …

Drylands are home to more than 38% of the total global population and are one of the most

Abstract Changes in dryland temperature and precipitation are essential components of
dryland climate change. This study applies the use of the monthly reanalysis data product of …

Drylands account for approximately 41% of the global total land area. Significant warming
and rare precipitation in drylands result in a fragile ecology and deterioration of the living …

Arid and semiarid regions cover one third of the continental areas on Earth. These regions
are very sensitive to a variety of physical, chemical and biological degradation processes …

Drylands, a critical terrestrial system of the Earth due to low water availability, are known for
their extensive global reach, estimated by most scientific sources at approximately 41% of …

This study analyzes areal changes and regional climate variations in global semi-arid
regions over 61 years (1948–2008) and investigates the dynamics of global semi-arid …
