This publication of fact sheets is one of the final outputs of COST Action ES1104. The fact sheets have been written by participants of the Action in order to contribute useful information in a number of topic areas, which form the expertise of the individual writers. The fact sheets share the broad topic area of restoration, but they are wide ranging as well, dealing with sites within Europe and Africa. They focus on soils, Sustainable Land Management, revegetation and many other areas. An additional final contribution of the Action is the drafting of a white paper. This white paper sets out 5 key recommendations to policy makers and those involved in combatting desertification and in drylands restoration. As a key contribution to the Action, the white paper is located immediately after this introduction.
