Abstract
Tackling land degradation and restoring degraded landscapes requires information on areas
of priority intervention, since it is not economically and technically possible to manage all
areas affected. Recent developments in data availability and improved computation power
have enhanced our understanding of the major regional drivers of land degradation and
possible remedial measures at different scales. In this study, we used the land degradation
hotspots identified using satellite and climate data covering the period 1982-2003 (Vlek et al.
2010) and simulated the potentials of different management measures in tackling land
degradation in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).
