Karst rocky desertification in Southwest China is a serious land degradation issue. Using GIS technology and remote sensing data, researchers studied the causes and patterns of rocky desertification. They found that both natural factors and human activities contribute to the problem. The extent and distribution of rocky desertification are influenced by landform, geology, vegetation, and economic development in the region. To combat this issue, a tailored approach is needed based on the specific characteristics of each affected area.
