This book, the only one of its kind on ravine lands, reflects the
significant advances made over the past two decades in our
understanding of gully erosion, its controlling factors, and
various aspects of gully erosion. It also addresses central
research gaps and unanswered questions, which include historical
studies on gully erosion to better understand the different stages
of their formation; appropriate measuring techniques for monitoring
or assessing the geological and hydrological parameters and
processes involved in gully development; interaction of
hydrological and other soil degradation processes; ecology and
biodiversity of fragile ravines; impact of climate and
environmental changes on soil erosion processes; development of
effective and reliable gully erosion models; effective gully
prevention and control measures; watershed-based management
options; and ravine rehabilitation policies. The present book is a
highly timely publication and deals with various aspects of ravine
ecology and rehabilitation of degraded lands, particularly with the
aid of biological approaches. As such, it offers a valuable guide
for all scientists working in the fields of soil conservation /
rehabilitation and agroforestry, students, environmentalists,
educationists, and policymakers. More importantly, it focuses on
the rehabilitation of one of the world's most degraded and fragile
ecosystems, ensuring the livelihoods of resource-poor farmers and
landless families living in harsh ecologies that are more
vulnerable to climate change.
