Lal, Rattan :
Soil erosion in the tropics : principles and management - New York : McGraw-Hill, ©1990. - x, 580 p. : illustrations
Included Index
Part A: Introduction; (1) Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Part B: Basic Processes; (2) Physical Processes and Climatic Erosivity; (3) Soil Properties and Erodibility (4) Slope and Landforms; (5) Splash Erosion; (6) Erosion Processes Over a Watershed. Part C: Measurement and Prediction; (7) Erosion Measurement and Evaluation; (8) Predicting Erosion Potential. Part D: Erosion Control; (9) Controlling Upland Erosion; (10) Landuse; (11) (12) Conservation Tillage; (13) Trees and Soil Erosion. Part E: Special Topics; (14) Erosion Hazard on Steeplands; (15) Wind Erosion and Its Control.
A text on the problem of soil erosion, covering the principles and processes of wind and water erosion, with emphasis on the tropics. Since soil erosion is the single largest problem in maintaining food production worldwide, it plays a significant role from an environmental point of view.
