An Agro-Sylvo-Pastoral Approach To Desertification Control And Increased Productivity Of The Sahel, Rober D. Kirmse

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

The southern arid fringe of the Sahara Desert, called the Sahel, is progressively becoming less productive through a systematic deterioration of the environment. Population increases and technological advances have encouraged ecological degradation through man's normal activities for survival. The degradation process has been referred to as desertification, desertization, desert encroachment, and desert creep.
