Desertification This is the process that sees productive land turned into non-productive desert. It usually affects dry areas on the edge of deserts, eg The Sahel, south of the Sahara Desert in Africa.
Due to the absence of vegetation on the land, there is no moisture in the soil to evaporate and form clouds that cause rainfall. Furthermore, less or no rainfall adds to the drought conditions, and the climate turns hotter and drier, causing more and more desertification.
