land becoming desert-like
the process in which good land becomes too dry and damaged to grow plants or crops

desertification of [land/areas/regions]
よくある間違い：
Do not confuse desertification with desertion, which means leaving someone or something. Desertification is a process affecting land, not the existence of a desert itself.

dryland degradation (more technical term, especially for damage in already dry regions)
