Changing desert areas for land use implies a lot of ecological
problems. These and related ones are dealt with in this book
covering various interdisciplinary and international aspects. Large
areas in arid and semi-arid regions are already polluted in various
ways. One of the biggest problems is the anthropogenic salinization
by inadequate means of agriculture and irrigation. Additionally,
most arid areas in the world are dramatically overgrazed. Methods
and practices of a sustainable land use in deserts are urgently
needed in many arid regions. This book gives a broad survey on some
of the affected regions of the world as well as some case studies
from elsewhere (Aral Sea, Negev desert, Namib desert etc.). Thus,
basic and applied sciences are brought together. Water management
in deserts, grazing systems or reclamation of desertified areas are
among the topics of this book, as well as social and economic
aspects.
