Description for Handbook for the Assessment of Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Using Environmental Radionuclides
hardcover. Features the methodologies for using radionuclides, primarily 137Cs and 210Pb, to establish rates and spatial patterns of soil redistribution within the landscape and determine the geochronology of sediment deposits. This work is based on the developments made by a network of research scientists working on soil erosion and sedimentation research. Editor(s): Zapata, F.; Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives. Num Pages: 219 pages, biography. BIC Classification: RBGD; RNF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 14. Weight in Grams: 509.
This publication deals with soil erosion and sedimentation. Soil erosion and associated sediment deposition are natural landscape-forming processes that can be greatly accelerated by human intervention through deforestation, overgrazing, and non-sustainable farming practices. Soil erosion and sedimentation may not only cause on-site degradation of the natural resource base, but also off-site problems— downstream sediment deposition in fields, floodplains and water bodies, water pollution, eutrophication and reservoir siltation, etc. —with serious environmental and economic impairment. There is an urgent need for accurate information to quantify the problem and to underpin the selection of effective soil-conservation technologies and sedimentation-remediation strategies, including assessment ...
