What is savannization technique?
The aim of this three-year project has been to create a
demonstration station for Israeli and overseas students,
scientists, and management personnel. The station shows how
ecological understanding of desert landscapes can be applied for
reforestation of degraded areas. The project is based on research
that shows that biological diversity and productivity in the desert
are controlled by factors affecting the flow of water, soil and
nutrients.
Four sites have been established in Sayeret Shaked Park to show how
natural and human activities in the area affect distribution of
resources and biological diversity, and to provide evidence of how
management activities restore desertified landscapes.
