"Land degradation from soil erosion has been considered by many to be a problem of significant proportion, affecting some 30-50% of the earth's land surface. At the time of the first publication of this book in 1993, estimates indicated that 10-15 million hectares of land were b…

Introducing the history and global significance of peatlands, this book offers a detailed synthesis of the existing literature on peat erosion, while incorporating research ideas and data from two leading experts. It is of interest to those working in a context of organic sedime…
With damaging effects from the exacerbation of water colour problems and reservoir sedimentation, to the disruption of the role that peatlands play in the global carbon cycle, the erosion of upland blanket peat is a critical environmental problem. This book offers an introductio…
This title presents a detailed study of the human impact, both bad and good, on the hydrology and hydrography (and, in turn, on human activity) of a large region of the United States.

"This thought-provoking book demonstrates how processes of landscape transformation, usually illustrated only in simplified or idealized form, play out over time in real, complex landscapes. Trimble illustrates how a simple landscape disturbance, generated in this case by agricu…
