Abstract

Today, desertification is a major concern in most developing countries including Iran in particular. Many studies have been carried out to assess and map desertification in the world and as a result several local and regional models have been developed. ESAS model is one of the best and most recent methodology introduced by the European Commission in 1999 and evaluated by most European as well as Middle Eastern countries. ESAS has recently drawn especial attention among Iranian researchers and is more advantageous than other methods because of its accuracy, particular weighing of layers, use of geographical information systems in overlaying of maps, use of geometric mean over arithmetic one or sum in computing indices and final desertification map. In addition to a higher precision and speed of evaluating and preparing desertification map, there is a very little error using ESAS.
