Reforestation addresses the root causes of desertification. Techniques focus on three aspects: provisioning of water, fixation of the soil, and hyper-fertilizing the soil.
Contour trenches are 150m long, 1m deep trenches in the soil, parallel to the height lines of the landscape to prevent erosion caused by the flow of water. Stone walls around the trenches prevent them from filling in. Sand fences can also be used to control drifting of soil and sand erosion.
Fixating the soil is accomplished by the use of shelter belts, woodlots and windbreaks. Zaï or tillage are used to enable crops to grow in consolidated soils (like clay).
Enriching the soil and restoration of its fertility is often done by plants. Of these, the Leguminous plants, which extract nitrogen from the air and fix it in the soil, and food crops/trees such as grains, barley, beans and dates are the most important.

What is the transformation of semi arid regions into deserts called?
The transformation of semi-arid regions into deserts is called desertification. This process is often caused by human activities such as overgrazing, deforestation, and poor agricultural practices, as well as factors like climate change and natural disasters. Desertification can lead to loss of vegetation, soil degradation, and an increase in arid conditions.
