Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Approaches to research on soil erosion have changed significantly over recent years. Traditionally, studies were based on small, carefully-managed erosion plots. Now researchers are able to develop detailed models of the management, hydrology and water quality for catchments and even river
basins. Research tools have also been developed for social and economic analyses at the household, farm and community levels. This book reviews the latest developments in soil erosion studies. It covers the full spectrum of studies, from plot to river basin, and from farm to national policy. It
includes background issues and detailed discussions of specific methods. The book is based on papers from a workshop held in Indonesia in November 1997, and it contains contributions from authors from Europe, North America, Australia and Southeast Asia as well as from several of the CGIAR
centres.
