South Africa has a rich literature on desertification with more than 2,000 articles in the popular and scientific literature having been written on one or more aspects of the problem. This South African literature has been synthesised within an easily-accessible data base using the software programme Reference Managerâ„¢ and is available to download in both Reference Manager or Plain Text.

Key words have been included to serve as guide lines to the kinds of issues and subjects dealt with in this project. If these topics interest you then the database can be downloaded and the articles of interest retreived.
