Although a natural process, soil erosion has increased significantly due to human intervention, especially in the last centuries, through diverse activities such as intensive agriculture, overgrazing, urban sprawl, deforestation, and industrial and mining activities. Presently, soil erosion and degradation promoted by human action have reached extreme levels, necessitating urgent measures to promote soil conservation and rehabilitation. This book presents perspectives on soil erosion occurring in different parts of the world as well as some successful initiatives and strategies for soil conservation and rehabilitation. 517 $aSoil Erosion 606 $aSoil science 615 0$aSoil science. 676 $a631.4 702 $aRodrigues$b Silvio Carlos 702 $aVieira$b Anto?nio 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910688309403321 996 $aSoil erosion$9372696 997 $aUNINA
