This work examines the degradation of rangelands and its potential ecological and socio-economic implications. Also discussed are the traditional management of dehesa systems, with a focus on the problems and advantages of the livestock diversification which characterize them.

The dynamics and mechanisms of a monsoon is one of the most spectacular global phenomena of nature. Climate change could influence monsoon dynamics, cause poor summer precipitation, and delay the start of monsoon season. This book discusses the impact of monsoons from the normal or even slight deviations in the light of country economics, agricultural production, water availability, and hydroelectric power generation. Also discussed in this compilation are the methodical aspects of an avalanche mechanism and the electrical breakdown of gases.

Presents and discusses research in the field of earth science, with a focus on the kryosphere and its relationship to the hydrosphere. This book explores the shield volcanoes of the Siberian flood basalts and the dynamics of lava sheet formation, as well as the planetary conditions at the Hadean and Archean transition.

This book presents and discusses research in the field of earth science, with a focus on the iron bioavailability in the Southern Oceans; the electrical properties of sedimentary rocks; the evolution of movement of asteroids; climatological features of cyclonic development over the Southwestern South Atlantic Ocean; coastal impacts related to wind/wave changes in the South American Continental Shelf; hydraulic conductivity assessment in fractured rock masses and the geology of hematite on the Earth's surface.
