Recent Advances in Remote Sensing and Geoinformation Processing for Land Degradation Assessment
About this book
Land degradation and desertification are amongst the most severe threats to human welfare and the environment, as they affect the livelihoods of some 2 billion people in the worlds drylands, and they are directly connected to pressing global environmental problems, such as the loss of biological diversity or global climate change.
