[edit] HANDBOOK FOR THE FIELD ASSESSMENT OF LAND DEGRADATION
This text offers guidance on rapid and non-technical methods for measuring and assessing land degradation. It is based on a farmer perspective so that the indicators selected will have meaning and applicability to real situations. It also considers how measurements should be interpreted.
With an ever-demanding and increasing population, it is imperative that we slow down or stop land degradation and the consequential lowering of the productive capacity of the land. This book provides guidance on rapid and non-technical methods for measuring and assessing land degradation in the field. It is based on a farmer perspective so that the indicators selected will have meaning and applicability to real situations. The handbook also considers how measurements should be interpreted and shows how combinations of different indicators can give the best conclusions as to the severity of the degradation. Stocking and Murnaghan show how this information can be incorporated within the design of appropriate conservation technologies. This practical and straightforward handbook will be an invaluable tool for professionals in the area of land degradation and for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and their field-workers.
