The first part deals with assessment of soil erosion that covers historical sediment dating to understand past environmental impacts due to tillage; laboratory simulation to clarify the effect of soil surface microtopography; integrated field observation and the random forest machine learning algorithm to assess watershed-scale soil erosion assessment; and developing the sediment delivery distributed (SEDD) model for sub-watershed erosion risk prioritization. In Part II, the factors controlling soil erosion and vegetation degradation as influenced by topographic positions and climatic regions; long-term land use change; and improper implementation of land management measures are well dealt with. Part III presents different land management technologies that could reduce soil erosion at various spatial scales; improve land productivity of marginal lands with soil microbes; and reclaim degraded farmland using dredged reservoir sediments. The final part relates livelihood diversification to climate vulnerability as well as the coping strategy to the adverse impacts of soil erosion through sustainable land management implementation which opens prospects for policy formulation. The studies cover regions of Africa, Europe, North America and Asia, being dominantly conducted under the framework of international scientific collaborations through employing a range techniques and scales, from the laboratory to watershed scales. We believe those unique features of the book could attract the interest of the wider scientific community worldwide.Soil Erosion and Sustainable Land Management Research & information: generalbicsscHerfindahl–Simpson diversity indexmultivariate probitdrought proneordered probitlivelihood diversificationsustainable land managementsedimentland useerosion crisesenvironmental impactclimate changedroughtlivelihood vulnerabilityShannon-entropy indexsplash erosionrainfall simulatorsplash cupsoil losssoil detachmentdisdrometerrainfall kinetic energypolyacrylamidegypsumlimerunoffdrylandErosion rateANFISANNSVMShihmen Reservoir watershedAcacia decurrensEucalyptusdrought-pronehighlandmidlandlowlandmarginal soilland degradationendemic plant speciessoil microbesarid regionsbacteriadegraded landfungiITSmicrobial communityrestoration16S rRNAGully Land Consolidationbackfilled loessphysical-mechanical propertymicrostructural characteristicpore size distributionsediment transportsoil erosionRUSLE (Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation model)human activitiessediment delivery distributed modelsediment yieldSEDDsediment delivery ratioβ coefficientmicro-damsedimentationreclaimed farmlandconstructabilityEthiopian highlandssoil organic carbonstructure stabilitysoil typeResearch & information: generalTsunekawa Atsushiedt1302980Haregeweyn NigussieedtTsunekawa AtsushiothHaregeweyn NigussieothBOOK9910557339603321Soil Erosion and Sustainable Land Management (SLM)3026798UNINA
