description | The assessment of soil degradation in natural ecosystems must necessarily beperformed from a non-conventional perspective, focused on agricultural productivity. Thus,the assessment of soil degradation in natural ecosystems requires the definition of standardswith which to compare other soils and thus evaluate their quality. In order to define thesestandards and manage appropriately the processes involved in the degradation and variation ofsoil quality, it is necessary to understand and establish in detail the genetic processes that havetaken place in that area and have led to the formation of a mature soil, which would beconsidered to be standard, as a non-degraded soil. In accordance with these ideas, we presentin this work the evolutive and regressive succession of the soils and examples of theutilization of this methodology to evaluate soil degradation in arid zones and those in highdesertification risk in the Canary Islands. |
