RESUMO:

Desertification is a global environmental challenge which involves ecological, social and climatic dimensions, whose interdependencies are still poorly understood by science. The process reaches drylands around the world, but the methodology and the concept of the term remain undefined, making it difficult to evaluate its extent and impact. In Brazil, desertification affects the semiarid region, where there is the Caatinga, biome chronically devastated by human action, politically unprotected and historically neglected by science (although this is changing), where live about 30 million people. The process may result in loss of flora and fauna biodiversity and soil fertility, which retaining less water, bring serious consequences of social, economic and ecological order. Climate projections evaluate that global warming alone can also increase the risk of desertification yet this century. Science has a key role to understand the multidisciplinary nature of this problem by providing subsidies for decision makers define coping strategies. On the other hand, the print media is an important tool for information dissemination and public engagement, establishing necessary bridge between scientific knowledge and society. This research aims to evaluate how science has been studying desertification in the Brazilian semiarid and analyze its impact on the print media and public policies of the country.
