Today's problematic environment-human interaction needs contemporary knowledge to address dryland complexity. Physical dimensions in arid zones-land systems, climate and hazards, ecology-are linked with social processes that directly impact drylands, such as land management, livelihoods, and development. The challenges require integrated research that identifies systemic drivers across global arid regions. Measurement and monitoring, field investigation, remote sensing, and data analysis are effective tools to investigate natural dynamics. Equally, inquiry into how policy and practice affect landscape sustainability is key to mitigating detrimental activity in deserts. Relations between socio-economic forces and degradation, agro-pastoral rangeland use, drought and disaster and resource extraction reflect land interactions. Contemporary themes of food security, conflict, and conservation are interlinked in arid environments. This book unifies desert science, arid environments, and dryland development. The chapters identify land dynamics, address system risks and delineate human functions through original research in arid zones. Mixed methodologies highlight the vital links between social and environmental science in global deserts. The book engages with today's topical themes and presents novel analyses of arid land systems and societies.regenerationdrylandsinvasive vineriparian ecosystemsKazakhstanMongolian grasslandhuman healthcharismawater rightspolitical ecologythe Hovmoller diagramMongoliacommon-pool resourcedesertificationafforestationcontinuous grazingarid areatamarind ageland use changemountains of Central Asiasoil carbon storagesocial movementscase study of nomadic and settlement grazing systemAfarprotestsocial–ecological systemsCentral AsiaAsian dustsubarctic agricultureJordan River Basinconservationprotected areaswater productivitynational parksdisturbancedrylandincrease of growing seasonSanjiangyuan regionpolicy implementationpartnershipssnow indexglobal carbon balancedust storm emissionJordanOne Beltlocal farmingdecouplingwater securityenvironmental impactsgroundwaterKashgar RegionGobiPalestinedegradingproperty rightsOne Roadaerodynamic roughnessIsraeldesertfodder demandspatial migration modelvegetation surveyagricultural water intensitydry lake bedsLUCCcommunal rangelandssubversive clientelismTibetan Plateauecotoneriver basin developmentlivestockenvironmental justicecomputational fluid dynamicsJapanremote sensingclimate hazardminingChobemodellingsustainable livelihoodswaterpastoralismenvironmental regime shifterosioninstitutional changeGobi desert of MongoliaCuchillas de la Zarcanon-linear changeEthiopiacross correlation analysisfarming at its limitsabsenceNew Silk Roaddrag partitioncellular automataagricultureChinaSPOT VGTgrass heightco-managementBelt and Road Initiativewind erosion modellingKyrgyzstanKAZAdust storm outbreakcoveragedesert reclamationnomadic pastoralismfodder supplysoil quality indexvegetation response to precipitationdriving forcesgrassland degradationenvironmentNyangatomrotational grazingdroughtAsiainfrastructureSouthern AfricaGobi Desert regionSonoran desertSouth Omoarid regionland cover/land usedrip irrigationriskair temperature increasethe Shiyang River Basinforest resourceslandscapeecosystem servicesGreenlandeconomic valuationSternberg Troy1214536Ahearn AriellScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910367567603321Arid Land Systems4318693UNINA
