On the application of risk analysis technology for assessment of the ecological hazard of desertification (by the example of Republic of Buryatia)

  • Published:
Contemporary Problems of Ecology Aims and scope

Abstract

The possibility of using risk analysis technology for ecological evaluation of desertification is demonstrated. Such risks as: specific physical (year−1), full physical (ha/year), economic (roubles/year), social (persons/year) are evaluated quantitatively per year; the function of land tolerance (reliability) in desertification is also determined.
