"Soil Erosion Studies" ed. by Danilo Godone and Silvia Stanchi

This book colntains a series of papers on erosion, not focusing on agronomic implications, but on a variety of other relevant aspects of the erosion phenomena. The book covers a wide range of erosion-related themes from a variety of points of view (assessment, modeling, mitigation, best practices etc.).

The book is divided into three sections:
1) various implications of land management in arid and semiarid ecosystems,
2) erosion modeling and experimental studies;
3) other applications (e.g. geoscience, engineering).
