Patterns of Land Degradation in Drylands

Wed, 21 Aug 2013 23:40:41 GMT2013-08-21T23:40:41Z

Understanding Self-Organised Ecogeomorphic Systems

Land degradation in drylands is a multi-faceted problem. Consequently, current management approaches that attempt to mitigate such land degradation often fail to produce significant improvements. The processes associated with land degradation in drylands fall at the interface of ecology and geomorphology. For a better understanding of this degradation, there is a need to uncover the underlying ...
