MANAGEMENT OF FOREST SOILS CONSIDERING WATER EROSION AS A CONTROL FACTOR

  • Conference paper
Desertification in the Mediterranean Region. A Security Issue

Part of the book series: NATO Security Through Science Series ((NASTC,volume 3))

Abstract

In Mediterranean regions, water erosion is strongly linked to desertification and relates mainly to constraints of land use. Soil and water play very important roles as production factors in agriculture and forest crops, so they are of almost importance in the management of forest soils for sustainable productivity.
