Cover Story: This research exploits the recurring change detected in vegetation cover over time to gauge the predictable (resilient) behavior as well as its chaoticity in a semi-arid Mediterranean region (Apulia, Italy). Interestingly, the results show the spatial rendering of recurrence variables, confirming the well-known hot spots of soil degradation and desertification taking place in the region, which are characterized by greater EVI chaoticity, but they also identified new potential candidate sites where focus the monitoring activities. The novelty of the research lies in the spatially explicit identification of resilient and less resilient areas to desertification that can support the definition of more targeted interventions and conservation priorities for better planning and sustainable management of Mediterranean drylands.
