The biophysical andsocio-economic complexity of this phenomenon has challenged ourability to categorize, inventory, monitor and repair the condition ofdegraded lands. One of the most important distinctions to be made inrelation to land degradation is between cultivated land used forannual crop production and `rangelands‘. Grazing by free-roaminglivestock is the traditional primary use of the world‘s rangelands.However, there is growing recognition of the importance of these vastacreages for wildlife habitat, hydrology and ground water recharge,recreation and aesthetics. .This text focuses on the desertification of rangelands and exploresprocesses, problems and solutions. Chapters in the first sectionevaluate interactions between `natural‘ and human-induced disturbanceregimes, thresholds, and non-linear change with respect to vegetation,hydrology, nutrients and erosion. Chapters in the second sectionexamine socio-economic constraints and approaches for preventing andreversing degradation. .The book provides a contemporary, process-oriented perspective onrangeland degradation of value to students, policy-makers andprofessionals alike. | 出版日期 | Book 2000 | 关键词 | Erosion; Vegetation; ecosystem; ecosystems; hydrology; production; soil; hydrogeology | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-015-9602-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-90-481-5359-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-015-9602-2 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2000 |
