Land Degradation, Desertification and Climate ChangeAnticipating, assessing and adapting to future change\nAuthor(s): Mark S. Reed, Lindsay C. Stringer\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Earthscan Ltd\nISBN-13: 9781849712705, 978-1849712705\nSynopsis\nAlthough much is known about the processes and effects of land degradation and climate change, little is understood about the links between them. Less still is known about how these processes are likely to interact in different social-ecological systems around the world, or how societies might be able to adapt to this twin challenge. This book identifies key vulnerabilities to the combined effects of climate change and land degradation around the world. It identifies triple-win adaptations that can tackle both climate change and land degradation, whilst supporting biodiversity and ecosystem services. \n\nThe book discusses methods for monitoring effects of climate change and land degradation.
