Approaches to research on the causes and impacts of soil erosion
have changed significantly over recent years. Whereas biophysical
research traditionally utilized small, carefully-managed erosion
plots, models and methods are now available to study impacts of
broad scale management on the hydrology and water quality of
catchments and even river basins. Corresponding research tools have
been developed for social and economic analysis at the household,
farm and community levels. This book reviews the latest
developments in such soil erosion studies. These are considered on
a matrix of scales, from plot to river basin, and from farm to
national policy. Some chapters review background issues while
others consider specific methods. Conclusions of working groups are
presented in another chapter. The book is based on papers presented
at a workshop held in Indonesia in November 1997, and includes
authors from Europe, America, Australia and Asia, as well as from
several of the CGIAR centers.
