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: generalbicssc16S rRNAAcacia decurrensANFISANNarid regionsbackfilled loessbacteriaclimate changeconstructabilitydegraded landdisdrometerdroughtdrought pronedrought-pronedrylandendemic plant speciesenvironmental impacterosion crisesErosion rateEthiopian highlandsEucalyptusfungiGully Land ConsolidationgypsumHerfindahl-Simpson diversity indexhighlandhuman activitiesITSland degradationland uselimelivelihood diversificationlivelihood vulnerabilitylowlandmarginal soilmicro-dammicrobial communitymicrostructural characteristicmidlandmultivariate probitordered probitphysical-mechanical propertypolyacrylamidepore size distributionrainfall kinetic energyrainfall simulatorreclaimed farmlandrestorationrunoffRUSLE (Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation model)SEDDsedimentsediment delivery distributed modelsediment delivery ratiosediment transportsediment yieldsedimentationShannon-entropy indexShihmen Reservoir watershedsoil detachmentsoil erosionsoil losssoil microbessoil organic carbonsoil typesplash cupsplash erosionstructure stabilitysustainable land managementSVMβ coefficientResearch & information: generalTsunekawa Atsushiedt1302980Haregeweyn NigussieedtTsunekawa AtsushiothHaregeweyn NigussieothBOOK9910557339603321Soil Erosion and Sustainable Land Management (SLM)3026798UNINA
