Abstract

The objective of the present study was to evaluate DESERTIFICATION phenomena in North Part of KHORASAN province adopting FAO-UNEP as well as Turkmenistan Desert Research Institute specific version methods. However these methods were modified according to local situation. All maps were prepared based on TM and MSS satellite images (1:250000) using geology, topography, vegetation and climatologic maps. Final map of human-induced DESERTIFICATION was set (1:500000). This map reflects development of different classes of DESERTIFICATION along with their respected intensities and causes. Results revealed that about %7.7 of the area could be classified as NATURAL DESERT composed of sandy, saline and low quality lands. Signs of DESERTIFICATION were not found only in about %5.5 of the territory. In general about %86.5 of total area (61440 Km2) are being affected by DESERTIFICATION with different intensities. The most and the least important factors of DESERTIFICATION were vegetation destruction and wind erosion with 46 and 0.5 percent respectively. Other processes like water erosion (%34.4) and soil salinization (%5.7) had their own effects on the subject. Considering DESERTIFICATION intensity, 46.7 percent of total area is classified as high and very high, %23.8 as medium and %16 as low intensity.
