    Abstract Arid and semi-arid climatic conditions, affecting what are hereafter referred to as drylands or dry areas, occupy around 30–40% of the world's terrestrial surface. Given the vulnerability of the soil systems in these areas to degradation, it is estimated that some 44 million km2 are at risk from desertification, i.e., 34% of the total world's area, supporting 2.6 billion people (Eswaran et al., 2001). These lands are obviously of great global significance even if their agricultural production potential is relatively low.
