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. 610 $aregeneration 610 $adrylands 610 $ainvasive vine 610 $ariparian ecosystems 610 $aKazakhstan 610 $aMongolian grassland 610 $ahuman health 610 $acharisma 610 $awater rights 610 $apolitical ecology 610 $athe Hovmoller diagram 610 $aMongolia 610 $acommon-pool resource 610 $adesertification 610 $aafforestation 610 $acontinuous grazing 610 $aarid area 610 $atamarind age 610 $aland use change 610 $amountains of Central Asia 610 $asoil carbon storage 610 $asocial movements 610 $acase study of nomadic and settlement grazing system 610 $aAfar 610 $aprotest 610 $asocial?ecological systems 610 $aCentral Asia 610 $aAsian dust 610 $asubarctic agriculture 610 $aJordan River Basin 610 $aconservation 610 $aprotected areas 610 $awater productivity 610 $anational parks 610 $adisturbance 610 $adryland 610 $aincrease of growing season 610 $aSanjiangyuan region 610 $apolicy implementation 610 $apartnerships 610 $asnow index 610 $aglobal carbon balance 610 $adust storm emission 610 $aJordan 610 $aOne Belt 610 $alocal farming 610 $adecoupling 610 $awater security 610 $aenvironmental impacts 610 $agroundwater 610 $aKashgar Region 610 $aGobi 610 $aPalestine 610 $adegrading 610 $aproperty rights 610 $aOne Road 610 $aaerodynamic roughness 610 $aIsrael 610 $adesert 610 $afodder demand 610 $aspatial migration model 610 $avegetation survey 610 $aagricultural water intensity 610 $adry lake beds 610 $aLUCC 610 $acommunal rangelands 610 $asubversive clientelism 610 $aTibetan Plateau 610 $aecotone 610 $ariver basin development 610 $alivestock 610 $aenvironmental justice 610 $acomputational fluid dynamics 610 $aJapan 610 $aremote sensing 610 $aclimate hazard 610 $amining 610 $aChobe 610 $amodelling 610 $asustainable livelihoods 610 $awater 610 $apastoralism 610 $aenvironmental regime shift 610 $aerosion 610 $ainstitutional change 610 $aGobi desert of Mongolia 610 $aCuchillas de la Zarca 610 $anon-linear change 610 $aEthiopia 610 $across correlation analysis 610 $afarming at its limits 610 $aabsence 610 $aNew Silk Road 610 $adrag partition 610 $acellular automata 610 $aagriculture 610 $aChina 610 $aSPOT VGT 610 $agrass height 610 $aco-management 610 $aBelt and Road Initiative 610 $awind erosion modelling 610 $aKyrgyzstan 610 $aKAZA 610 $adust storm outbreak 610 $acoverage 610 $adesert reclamation 610 $anomadic pastoralism 610 $afodder supply 610 $asoil quality index 610 $avegetation response to precipitation 610 $adriving forces 610 $agrassland degradation 610 $aenvironment 610 $aNyangatom 610 $arotational grazing 610 $adrought 610 $aAsia 610 $ainfrastructure 610 $aSouthern Africa 610 $aGobi Desert region 610 $aSonoran desert 610 $aSouth Omo 610 $aarid region 610 $aland cover/land use 610 $adrip irrigation 610 $arisk 610 $aair temperature increase 610 $athe Shiyang River Basin 610 $aforest resources 610 $alandscape 610 $aecosystem services 610 $aGreenland 610 $aeconomic valuation 700 $aSternberg$b Troy$01214536 702 $aAhearn$b Ariell 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367567603321 996 $aArid Land Systems$94318693 997 $aUNINA
