Land degradation is the reduction of the capacity
of land to sustain its ecosystem functions and services that
support society and development. In this study we derive
phenological indices from time series of Spot VEGETATON
images. For the African continent, we illustrate that such
metrics show observable trends that can help explaining the
state and evolution of vegetative land cover due to climatic
and/or anthropogenic influences and can be considered a large
scale proxy adding to assessment of land degradation
