Descripción
This guidelines booklet is addressed to the LADA partner countries and, more in general, to the increasing number of countries which are expressing their interest in implementing the LADA approach for mapping Land Degradation. The specific objective is to provide guidelines for the identification, selection and description of nationally based indicators of land degradation. The LADA approach is well defined by a range of specific documents and manuals. The National indicators common to all countries are based on the LADA-Wocat QM manual. Further national indicators, socio-economic, are also proposed as possible common indicators. They are all described and included in the DIS4LADA on-line system (synthetically presented below). They create a common, harmonised way to assess land degradation at the national level.
