Article Synopsis
- The study investigates desertification in arid and semi-arid areas of Eastern Mediterranean (Jordan) using satellite images from different sensors and resolutions to minimize distortion and improve accuracy in assessing desertification severity.
- By creating a Desertification Degree Index (DDI) based on the relationship between albedo and the modified soil adjusted vegetation index (MSAVI), the research identifies that severe desertification affects around 50% of the area, especially in the eastern regions.
- The findings highlight the need for finer resolution maps (10 m, 30 m, and 60 m) to understand local variations in desertification, whereas coarser maps
