After UNCED (United Conference on Environment and Development, Rio
de Janeiro, July 1992), a second edition of Desertification was
necessary. About 150 corrections, amendments and additions take
scientific progress into account. The author also presents an
updated chapter in which the results of UNCED are analyzed.
This book aims at an understanding of what is commonly called
"desertification" - a term which is proposed to be replaced by
"land degradation." Each level of technology, excessive or
insufficient, creates its own mismanagement. This is reflected in
an increase in land degradation and eventually a decrease in soil
productivity. The benefit to the reader is an awareness of the
ecozones and a global overview of the phenomena, mechanisms and
existing solutions.
