Co-sponsored by Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Science Press, the Journal of Arid Land is an international peer-reviewed journal which explores sustainable development and eco-environmental management and focuses on the arid and semi-arid lands in Central Asia and the world at large.

2024年2月14日 · Arid lands, often synonymous with deserts, are regions characterized by a severe lack of available water, to the extent of hindering or preventing the growth of plant and animal life.

Arid lands, defined as arid, semiarid, are among the world’s most fragile lands, caused by continuous drought and increasing overexploitation. These lands occupy nearly 30% of the world’s land surface (Fig. 4.1

2025年2月21日 · Arid Land Research and Management, a cooperating journal of the International Union of Soil Sciences, is a common outlet and a valuable source of information for fundamental and applied research on soils affected by aridity. This journal covers land ecology, including flora and fauna, as well as soil chemistry, biology, physics, and other ...

Aridity is the condition of geographical regions which make up approximately 43% of total global available land area, characterized by low annual precipitation, increased temperatures, and limited water availability.

2023年1月20日 · Hyper-arid, arid, and semi-arid lands (herein, arid lands) form about one third of the Earth's terrestrial surface. Arid lands contain unique biological and cultural diversity, and biodiversity loss in arid lands can have a disproportionate impact on these ecosystems due to low redundancy and a high risk of trophic cascades.

Journal information： Journal of Arid Land Resources and Environment timely reflect the research trends and dynamics of arid areas in the world, providing useful references in the development and construction of arid and semi-arid areas. The features of the journal: strong comprehensiveness, quick review, and large amount of publications.

Almost one-third of the total land area of the world is arid. In the arid zones, there are three major climatic types: Mediterranean, tropical, and continental. Rainfall distribution of these types varies between winter and summer and from year to year.

Arid lands could be broadly and simply defined as regions where evaporation exceeds precipitation. Generally speaking, arid lands cover 47% of Earth's land surface. These include four categories according to their aridity index: hyperarid, arid, semiarid, and dry subhumid regions.
