Although China faces the same effects of overpopulation as the rest of the world, it feeds over a billion people on a tillable area that allows about one tenth of a hectare per person. The country’s efforts to tie together soil and water conservation, dryland farming and economic development are largely successful. Soil Erosion and Dryland Farming extensively discusses these practices and the lessons learned from them. Copublished with the Soil and water Conservation Society, this exhaustive text presents a worldwide perspective on erosion control. It covers dryland farming systems and soil-water management, environmental quality and sustainability, and erosion control techniques. Edited by an international author team, it includes major contributions by top Chinese scientists, global examples, and a balance between conceptual and applied studies. Soil Erosion and Dryland Farming covers some of the most progressive work in soil erosion control and dryland farming from around the world. FEATURES: 1)Examines dryland farming systems and soil-water management, environmental quality and sustainability, erosion control techniques and strategies, and water wind erosion processes 2)Provides global examples of dryland farming 3)Addresses soil erosion and dryland farming methods as practiced successfully in China |
