Opis

Contains chapters on modeling wind and water erosion. This book also deals with assessment of erosivity and erodibility, erosion, crop productivity, measuring sediment yield from river basins and field plot techniques. It includes statistics on the global magnitude of soil erosion by water and wind and on denudation rates.

Recenzje

"The second edition of Soil Erosion Research Methods is a result of the enthusiastic reception of the first edition by soil erosion researchers around the world. This new version is a response to the continued and growing need to promote the use of appropriate methodology to evaluate soil erosion."
Ildefonso Pla Sentis, Chairman of Subcommission C of the ISSS
