It also addresses central research gaps and unanswered questions, which include historical studies on gully erosion to better understand the different stages of their formation; appropriate measuring techniques for monitoring or assessing the geological and hydrological parameters and processes involved in gully development; interaction of hydrological and other soil degradation processes; ecology and biodiversity of fragile ravines; impact of climate and environmental changes on soil erosion processes; development of effective and reliable gully erosion models; effective gully prevention and control measures; watershed-based management options; and ravine rehabilitation policies. The present book is a highly timely publication and deals with various aspects of ravine ecology and rehabilitation of degraded lands, particularly with the aid of biological approaches. As such, it offers a valuable guide for all scientists working in the fields of soil conservation / rehabilitation and agroforestry, students, environmentalists, educationists, and policymakers. More importantly, it focuses on the rehabilitation of one of the world?s most degraded and fragile ecosystems, ensuring the livelihoods of resource-poor farmers and landless families living in harsh ecologies that are more vulnerable to climate change. 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aSoil science 606 $aSoil conservation 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aClimatic changes 606 $aConservation biology 606 $aEcology 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aAgriculture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006 606 $aSoil Science & Conservation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U28000 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 606 $aClimate Change$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007 606 $aConservation Biology/Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19150 606 $aEnvironmental Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aSoil science. 615 0$aSoil conservation. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 615 0$aConservation biology. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 14$aAgriculture. 615 24$aSoil Science & Conservation. 615 24$aSustainable Development. 615 24$aClimate Change. 615 24$aConservation Biology/Ecology. 615 24$aEnvironmental Management. 676 $a630 702 $aDagar$b Jagdish Chander$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSingh$b Anil Kumar$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298420603321 996 $aRavine Lands: Greening for Livelihood and Environmental Security$92526741 997 $aUNINA
