英文摘要	The aim of this study is the assessment of desertification risk in a typical Mediterranean island, in the frame of climate change and the application of good agricultural practices (GAPs). Based on the MEDALUS Environmentally Sensitive Area Index (ESAI) approach, the sensitivity in desertification is estimated by employing 15 quantitative parameters divided in four main quality indices: climate, vegetation, soil and management quality. The methodology applied for a baseline scenario (current conditions), two future climate change scenarios (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5) and a soil quality improvement scenario. According to the results, more than 13% of the island's area is characterized as critically sensitive to desertification in the current conditions. This percentage seems to be increased in the future under both the RCP 4.5 and the RCP 8.5 climate scenarios, where the critical areas will rise above to 15%. By applying, simultaneously with the climate change scenarios, the soil quality improvement scenario, a slight mitigation of desertification risk in the future could be achieved. The methodology developed in this study may be used to assess desertification process under various climate, soil and land use management scenarios in regions of the Mediterranean Sea.
