- Abstract
Land degradation research is considered as a global problem. To assess land degradation, it is necessary to assess the potential for land degradation and actual status of land degradation. Based on the global land degradation assessment (GLASOD)guidelines for the development of indicators and techniques of assessment, taking into account the specific conditions of Thua Thien Hue province, the assessment of the land degradation potential of Thua Thien Hue province has been carried out. The assessment results show that the potential for land degradation in Thua Thien Hue province is at three levels: weak, medium and strong: weak potential degradation in the study area of 103,700 ha (20.53% of total natural area); The medium potential degradation of the study area of 208,600 ha (41.28% of the total natural area); The strong potential degradation in the study area of 193,000 ha (38.19% of the total natural area). The size and distribution of each level is different due to the formation of land degradation potential in different regions, which provides solutions to exploit and use land resources accordingly.
