In this paper, based on investigation and assessment of the environmental geological aspects of desertification, especially on the investigation of environmentally vulnerable areas affected by desertification, the authors built up a geo-environmental indicator system for desertification assessment, and determined a group of factors for investigation and monitoring. The results have brought technological support to the scientific assessment of geo-environment change and the improvement of the geo-environment monitoring and early warning system.oft-com:office:office" />
