Hutchinson | 视频video | | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | Desertification has re-emerged as a topic of globalsignificance as a consequence of the United Nations Conference onEnvironment and Development. When first addressed over a generationago, attention was drawn to the compelling, spectacular images of sanddunes engulfing farmlands and parched cattle dying around wells.Research tended to focus on these events as unusual phenomena thatinvolved the unfortunate collision of climate and `irrational‘ landuse. Since then, the work of many researchers has shown us thatdesertification is a multifaceted problem that involves climatic,biogeochemical, political, and socio-economic processes that operatemore or less continuously but at rates that vary in time and space. Noattempts to arrest or reverse desertification that ignore thiscomplexity are likely to succeed. In a single volume, `Desertificationin Developed Countries‘ describes the multiple dimensions ofdesertification as well as the novel approaches that have been used toaddress it within the economies of developed countries. This is donefrom the perspectives and experiences of the numerous authors who havecontributed to this book. | 出版日期 | Book 1995 | 关键词 | climate; development; ecosystem; environment; erosion; land degradation; soil; temperature; water; ecotoxicol | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-009-1635-7 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-010-7231-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-009-1635-7 | copyright | Kluwer Academic Publishers 1995 |
