"Land-use change is one of the main drivers of many environmental change processes.
It influences the basic resources of land use, including the soil. Its impact on soil
often occurs so creepingly that land managers hardly contemplate initiating ameliorative
or counterbalance measures. Poor land management has degraded vast amounts of land,
reduced our ability to produce enough food, and is a major threat to rural livelihoods
in many developing countries." "To date, there has been no single unifying volume
that addresses the multifaceted impacts of land use on soils. This book has responded
to this challenge by bringing together renowned academics and policy experts to analyze
the patterns, driving factors and proximate causes, and the socioeconomic impacts
of soil degradation. Policy measures to prevent irreversible degradation and rehabilitate
degraded soils are also identified."--BOOK JACKET
