Desertified and degraded are words often used when talking about drylands. But what do these words actually mean? And how do they shape the ways we think about managing and restoring drylands? Here with talk with Dr. Brandon Bestelmeyer, who has studied drylands both in the Southwest and around the world. We explore what kinds of changes drylands have undergone, and how they will continue to change into the future.
