Practical guidelines on a spatially strategic approach to management of land degradation at a range of spatial scales were produced. Originally developed for the Mediterranean environment, it has much wider potential global application. It provides researchers with methods to acquire the knowledge necessary for such an approach and provides practitioners with guidance on implementation and benefits of targeted methods of soil erosion control. It includes substantial information about processes and vegetation in the Mediterranean environment and the species effectiveness in soil erosion control. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Environmental Science,$x2191-5547 606 $aPhysical geography 606 $aClimatic changes 606 $aHydrology 606 $aSoil science 606 $aSoil conservation 606 $aPlant ecology 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aPhysical Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J16000 606 $aClimate Change Management and Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/314000 606 $aHydrology/Water Resources$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/211000 606 $aSoil Science & Conservation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U28000 606 $aPlant Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19112 606 $aAgriculture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006 615 0$aPhysical geography. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 615 0$aHydrology. 615 0$aSoil science. 615 0$aSoil conservation. 615 0$aPlant ecology. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 14$aPhysical Geography. 615 24$aClimate Change Management and Policy. 615 24$aHydrology/Water Resources. 615 24$aSoil Science & Conservation. 615 24$aPlant Ecology. 615 24$aAgriculture. 676 $a333.736 700 $aHooke$b Janet$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058539 702 $aSandercock$b Peter$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254015103321 996 $aCombating Desertification and Land Degradation$92500574 997 $aUNINA
