Desertification constitutes a grave threat to the environmental and socio-economic stability of desertification frontline states in Northern Nigeria. From 2003 to 2020, this research comprehensively analyzes desertification vulnerability, integrating parameters such as NDVI, LST, TVDI, MSAVI, and Albedo. Key factors contributing to land degradation are identified, along with the spatial patterns and trends of desertification over the two-decade period.

- Changes in land and water dynamics are influenced by both natural and human factors, especially in dryland hotspots affected by societal demands and climate change.
- The research utilized remote sensing and geographic information systems to analyze the Lake Chad basin and the Aral Sea basin, predicting land cover changes up to 2030 using various models and statistical methods.
- The study found significant trends in land cover changes, including increased cropland and grassland in the Lake Chad basin, along with a decrease in water bodies in the Aral Sea basin, highlighting the effects of population, temperature, and irrigation on these dynamics.
Article Synopsis
- The study looks at how human activities affect the plants and environment in the Niger River Basin between 2000 and 2020.
- It used satellite images to analyze changes and found that most of the area (about 89.88%) was negatively impacted by these activities.
- The researchers suggest using better methods to help fix the environment, like better farming practices and protecting natural resources.
