Rangeland Degradation and Recovery in China's Pastoral Lands
by Edited by Victor R Squires, Xinshi Lu, Qi Lu, Tao Wang, Youlin Yang
The extreme climate variability that characterizes China's arid rangelands can cause drought and degradation, resulting in dust storms, floods, animal losses, financial hardship and a decline in food availability. Addressing the issues of even greater climate extremes in the future, this book discusses both new approaches and past successes and failures in order to provide the necessary insight to develop sustainable rangeland management strategies, drawing on regional case studies and lessons learned from Australia, Canada and the USA.
