Abstract Desertification threatens land integrity, social stability, and sustainable global economic development. Between 1982 2015, 6% of the world's drylands experienced desertification because unsustainable use practices exacerbated by anthropogenic climate change. Despite initiating several regional projects to control actively, United Nations Convention Combat (UNCCD) failed achieve its restoration goals. Therefore, this paper thoroughly examines primary factors contributing desertification, identifies obstacles impeding efforts, presents effective solutions combat pressing issue. Poor policy awareness about institutional gaps, cultural barriers, limited access credit modern technologies, lack standardization, inconsistent estimates extent were main constraints hindering efforts. However, implementing crucial approaches could effectively address challenge desertification. The capacity building, education, training should be more comprehensive for local communities, but managers, government officials, development planners part this. Local indigenous knowledge integrated with scientific get a better harvest against Sustainable management enhance soil productivity advanced technology (remote sensing, digital maps, machine learning data mining) help standardize procedures accurately assess Different can stabilize wind water erosion, such as bio‐cementing biocrust formation. Converting degraded areas into green spaces create 10 million jobs foster economy in developing countries. Finally, aspirant targets goals (SDGs), it is imperative carry out research on utilizing sound investing institutes next generation researchers.

In managing ecosystem services (ESs), it is vital to understand and effectively regulate the trade-offs synergies (ToSs) involved. This study investigates Tianshan Mountains (TSMs), utilizing InVEST (Integrated Valuation of ESs Tradeoffs) model evaluate service changes from 2000 2020, while employing univariate linear regression examine their spatiotemporal dynamics. Pearson correlation analysis was also conducted assess how climatic variables (temperature precipitation) vegetation indicators (NDVI, normalized difference index) influence overall benefits. The findings reveal notable spatial heterogeneity dynamic shifts in across TSMs, with strong observed between carbon storage (CS) other (such as habitat quality, HQ; soil conservation, SC; water yield, WY), especially areas experiencing increased vegetation. However, connection HQ WY comparatively weaker occasionally exhibited negative correlations during specific periods, highlighting intricate among various services. further showed that climate significantly impact benefits, declining precipitation rising temperatures reducing these whereas higher NDVI associated improved functions. Ultimately, this emphasizes necessity recognizing ToSs promote sustainable regional development.
