Aridity

Aridity is the state of geographical regions making approximately 43% of total global available land area, made by low annual precipitation, increased temperatures, and limited water availability.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

These areas may fall upon degraded soils, as their health and functioning are key to regulating the ecosystems’ atmospheric components.^[5]^[3]
