Desertización y desertificación: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que desertización y desertificación, significan lo mismo, de acuerdo con el Diccionario de la lengua española. [Sin embargo,] pese a que el Diccionario académico no establezca distinciones de significados entre estos pares, cabe señalar que otras obras de referencia sí introducen matices distintivos, cuya evolución terminará de perfilarse y consolidarse con el uso. Así, el diccionario Clave señala que la desertización es la ‘transformación de un terreno en desierto’, en general; mientras que la desertificación es una desertización causada específicamente por el ser humano. Por su parte, el Diccionario del Medio Ambiente, de Ana Andrés y Olga Roger, apunta a que desertización hace referencia a la pérdida gradual de población en un área geográfica, mientras que la desertificación se relaciona con la pérdida de cubierta vegetal. 1, record 1, Spanish, - desertizaci%C3%B3n
