  abstract = {{B}ased on coupling a continuous cellular automaton with the {MEDALUS} model enhanced by anthropogenic factors, {DESERTICAS} is specially designed to model and simulate the evolution of land degra-dation over time and space. {O}ne of the interests of this modelling is to associate rehabilitation and restoration actions through a factor, called the predominant factor, which has an overall impact on the system. {T}he study carried out in this paper aims at extracting this prevailing fac-tor among those already involved in the desertification phenomenon through the {DESERTICAS} software. {T}he comparative analysis of the effects of the different desertification factors highlights the predom-inance of man-made management in the modelling carried out. {A}ct-ing positively on the management factor means acting indirectly on the other desertification factors in order to interrupt the sources of degrada-tion and slow down or stop land desertification.},
