Analysis of Climate and Land Use Changes Impacts on Land Degradation in the North China Plain by Zhihui Li, Xiangzheng Deng, Fang Yin, Cuiyuan Yang

“…Land degradation is a complex process which involves both the natural ecosystem and the socioeconomic system, among which climate and land use changes are the two predominant driving factors. To comprehensively and quantitatively analyze the land degradation process, this paper employed the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) as a proxy to assess land degradation and further applied the binary panel logit regression model to analyze the impacts of the driving factors on land degradation in the North China Plain. …”
