Abstract

The intense interest in desertification and climate change has stimulated detailed studies of temperature records in many areas of the world. In this investigation, the temperature records from the Middle East region are analyzed over the period 1950-1990. Results reveal a linear, statistically significant temperature increase of 0.07 °C/decade over the 41-year period. An analysis of spatial controls on these temperature changes reveals a warming effect associated with both overgrazing and the degree of human-induced desertification. The results of this study are consistent with theoretical and empirical studies predicting and demonstrating a warming signal associated with these land surface changes in the world's dryland areas.

摘要

人们对荒漠化和气候变化的浓厚兴趣，刺激了对世界许多地区温度记录的详细研究。在此项研究中，分析了中东地区 1950-1990 年期间的温度记录。结果表明，在 41 年期间，温度呈线性上升，每 10 年增加 0.07°C，具有统计学意义。对这些温度变化的空间控制因素的分析表明，过度放牧和人为荒漠化程度都对变暖有影响。本研究的结果与理论和实证研究一致，这些研究预测并证明了与世界旱地地区这些地表变化相关的变暖信号。
