MA is Mfg Plant Code (see http://www.harriger.com/exptire.htm), L9 is a tire size code, ABCD is optional manufacturer info, 036 is mfg date (in this case third week of unspecified year ending in 6, but not 2006) The newer tires are using 4 digits, the first 2 = the week, and the last 2 = the year. For example 4202 = 42nd week of 2002.
Desertification is a type of land degradation in which a relatively dry land region becomes increasingly arid, typically losing its bodies of water as well as vegetation and wildlife.esertification often causes rural lands to become unable to support the same sized populations that previously lived there. This results in mass migrations out of rural areas and into urban areas, particularly in Africa.
A desert is a region of land that is very dry because it receives low amounts of precipitation (usually in the form of rain but may be snow, mist or fog), often has little coverage by plants, and in which streams dry up unless they are supplied by water from outside the area.eserts take up about one third of the Earth's land surface. Bottomlands may be salt-covered flats. Eolian processes are major factors in shaping desert landscapes. Polar deserts (also seen as cold deserts) have similar features, except the main form of precipitation is snow rather than rain.
