Abstract

Egypt is one of the most arid lands in the world as 86 per cent of its total area is hyper arid while the remaining area is arid and semi-arid (Meigs 1953). Four agro-ecological zones are distinguished, namely, the Nile Valley, the North Coastal Zone, the Inland Sinai, the Eastern Desert and the Western Desert. As significant variations in ecosystem services are recognized among the four agro-ecological zones, desertification affects each one differently.
