One of the critical needs in the region is to fully understand how dryland ecosystems respond to the changing climate and human activities in order to develop strategies to cope with continued climate change. This book provides state-of-the-art knowledge and information on drylands ecosystem dynamics, changing climate, society, and land use in the region. In addition to the synthesis of the existing research and knowledge of DEA, the book provides a role model for regional ecological assessment. With a wide spectrum of contributions from experts around the globe, the book should be of interest to researchers and students both internationally and in East Asia. Lessons learned from this synthesis effort in DEA should be useful for developing climate adaptation strategies for other similar regions around the globe. 410 0$aEcosystem Science and Applications 606 $aArid regions ecology$zEast Asia 606 $aClimatic changes$zEast Asia 606 $aEcosystem management$zEast Asia 606 $aNature$xEffect of human beings on$zEast Asia 610 $aClimate Change, Desertification, Dry Lands, Ecosystem, Land Use. 615 0$aArid regions ecology 615 0$aClimatic changes 615 0$aEcosystem management 615 0$aNature$xEffect of human beings on 676 $a577.2/2095 686 $aQT 000$2rvk 701 $aChen$b Jiquan$f1962-$01527323 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787757803321 996 $aDryland East Asia land dynamics amid social and climate change$93770013 997 $aUNINA
