Pock Marks as a Nature-based solution for enhancing water availability in African marginal drylands?
Nearly 1.9 billion people live in marginal environments, including drylands, semiarid, arid, and hyperarid environments. Obscure but ubiquitous circular pockmark depressions dot these lands. These circular depressions can range from a few meters to kilometers, and the depth of these depressions varies from a few centimeters to over 10 m. However, the genesis of the circles has been investigated among scientists for many years because of their obscure nature.
