The data was analyzed using multiple linear regressions to determine the factors that significantly contributed toward the influence of desertification pattern. The result of the study shows that there was a linear relationship between the influence of desertification pattern and vertical distribution in soil moisture. (r = 0.553, p = 0.001) The study suggests integrated and holistic strategies for improved land conservation and sustainable management of land and water resources.
