Drylands, People, and Ecosystem Goods and Services: A Web-based Geospatial Analysis

Abstract

This web-based analysis takes advantage of the power of geospatial technologies to examine the worldÆs drylands. We consider drylands from the perspective of human livelihoods, examining how these livelihoods are integrated with dryland ecosystem goods and services. Our presentation is map-rich using combinations of remotely-sensed data and computer-based data management systems (GIS)
