Aridity

Arid regions of the Western United States as mapped in 1893

Aridity is the state of geographical regions making approximately 43% of total global available land area, made by low annual precipitation, increased temperatures, and limited water availability.[1][2][3][4]

These areas may fall upon degraded soils, as their health and functioning are key to regulating the ecosystems’ atmospheric components.[5][3]
