Soil Erosion Control in Drylands
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-04858-6 (ISBN)
This book focuses on drylands such as arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas where they form the main part of ecosystems, e.g., in Iran, but also around the world. Mismanagement and improper exploitation of these areas lead to more degradation day by day.
Besides an introduction to the role and importance of vegetation cover in conserving soil against wind and water erosion, this book gives a scope of appropriate techniques and methods for vegetation establishment and maintenance, indicators for suitable plants selection for soil conservation, and soil erosion prevention and combat. It provides methods of soil erosion prevention and combating through the application of plants, using bioengineering systems for soil erosion control and the role of agroforestry in soil erosion prevention.
This book can be helpful to those with an interest in countries with similar climates to Iran. In particular, this includes Dubai, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.Soil Erosion: Factors, Processes and Effects.- The Role of Vegetation in Confronting Erosion and Degradation of Soil and Land.- Biological Control of Water Erosion.- Wind Erosion Biological Control.- Biological and Biomechanical Methods for Stream Stabilization.- Slope Stabilization Methods Using Biological and Biomechanical Measures.- Agroforestry and its Role in Soil Erosion Biological Control.
