Paperback. Series: SpringerBriefs in Environmental Science. Num Pages: 135 pages, 8 black & white illustrations, 34 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: RBGB; RBK; RGB; TVB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155. .
This book reports an approach developed to research and apply methods of assessing patterns of processes in the landscape, and suitability of different types of vegetation to mitigate soil erosion and sediment flux. Practical guidelines on a spatially strategic approach to management of land degradation at a range of spatial scales were produced. Originally developed for the Mediterranean environment, it has much wider potential global application. It provides researchers with methods to acquire the knowledge necessary for such an approach and provides practitioners with guidance on implementation and benefits of targeted methods of soil erosion control. It includes substantial information ... Read more
