The primary impact of desertification on ecosystems is the degradation of land that reduces its biodiversity and productivity. As arid conditions worsen, vegetation loss occurs, leading to soil erosion, diminished water retention, and altered local climates. These changes threaten numerous species that depend on these habitats. Moreover, desertification disrupts the balance of ecosystem services, such as carbon sequestration and soil fertility, further exacerbating the vulnerability of surrounding communities. Consequently, addressing desertification is critical for preserving ecosystem health and sustaining human livelihoods.
