Desurvey: W.P.1.3.3
John B. Thornes (K.c.l)• W.P.Specific Objective• …to provide a generic
desertification model that can be readily applied to desertification scenarios (identified from the PIK syndrome approach) as applied to the European bio-physical and socio-economic environments
• Stressing:• ……. The interaction between the
socio-economic and bio-physical drivers and….
• ……….Sustainable renewable resources model of Gutierrez and adapted for desertification by Puigdefabrigas for desertification.
Develop a surveillance system that to assess and diagnose desertification. Contribute to strengthen the necessary scientific knowledge for the future orientation of the sustainable Development Strategy and the 6th Environment Action Programme
