Definition from
CENGAGE Learning:
The process through which a desert takes over a formerly non-desert area. When a region begins to undergo desertification, the new conditions typically include a significantly lowered water table, a reduced supply of surface water, increased salinity in natural waters and soils, progressive destruction of native vegetation, and an accelerated rate of erosion.
Example sentences:
In addition to vegetation deterioration, erosion, and salinization, desertification effects can be seen in loss of soil fertility, soil compaction, and soil crusting (DESERTIFICATION OF ARID LANDS)
Common indicators of desertification include a reduction in the amount and diversity of plant and animal species, loss of water-retention capacity, lessened soil fertility, and increasing wind and water erosion. (Desertification)
Desertification creates conditions that intensify wildfires and stirring winds, adding to the tremendous pressure to earth's most precious resource, water, and, of course, the animals dependant on it. (Did you know?)

elsivatagosodás
Június 17-e az ENSZ-közgyűlés 1995 decemberi határozata alapján az Elsivatagosodás Elleni Világnap, arra emlékezve, hogy 1994. június 17-én fogadták el Párizsban az elsivatagosodás és szárazság elleni küzdelemről szóló ENSZ-konvenciót.

wikiszotar:
Az a folyamat, amikor egy terület sivataggá válik.
Example sentences:
Az elsivatagosodás az egész világon tapasztalható, a mediterrán térségben, Kaliforniában, még a magyar Alföldön is. (AKG)
Az elsivatagosodás azonban sokkal összetettebb és sokrétűbb jelenség, mintsemhogy pár mondattal magyarázni lehetne. Ökológiai, éghajlati, mezőgazdasági, gazdasági, politikai tényezők egyaránt szerepet játszanak a kialakulásában. (AKG)
Az elsivatagosodás fogalma nem a már meglévő sivatagok terjedésére utal, hanem száraz vagy kiszáradt ökoszisztémák leépülésével újabb sivatagok kialakulására, melyek már a szárazföldi területek több mint harmadát borítják be. (MTV)
Note from asker:
| Thanks Kitty. Yes, I had found the following in JurLex: "WGA-vervolguitkering = follow-up benefit under the Return to Work (Partially Disabled Persons) Regulations, WGA follow-up benefit" … but was a bit confused by the difference between "WIA" and "WGA", since my text said "WIA-vervolguitkering", rather than "WGA-vervolguitkering". |
| vervolguitkering [vs gewenningsuitkering] = continuation benefit [under incapacity for work regulations] follow-up benefit gewenningsuitkering [vs vervolguitkering] habituation benefit [under incapacity for work regulations] |
