Book Synopsis Reclamation of Arid Lands by : Mohammad Jafari
Download or read book Reclamation of Arid Lands written by Mohammad Jafari and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of arid and semi-arid lands conditions, their general characteristics, methods of management, conservation, exploitation and reclamation. It also focuses on how to utilize the potential of arid lands with the minimum manipulation and alteration. Arid and semi-arid areas represent a major part of natural ecosystems not only in Iran, but around the world, and mismanagement and inappropriate exploitation of these areas may lead to further gradual degradation. As such, an understanding of the characteristics of these areas is vital if they are to be conserved and reclaimed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Climatic Features of the Arid Regions: Communicated to the National Irrigation Congress, at Its Fifth Annual Session, Phoenix, Arizona, December 15-17, 1896 This will be better understood when it is stated that in case the air be saturated, the readings of the dry and the wet bulb thermometers will be the same and the sensible temperature and the air temperature will be equal. In the semiarid regions of the West the sensible temperature during the summer months often is 20 to 30 less than the air temperature, which condition is due to the extreme dryness of the atmosphere. In the more humid regions of the eastern part of the country such extreme differences can not occur. Gradually the publication of sensible temperatures has been extended until now the readings of the wet-bulb thermometer appear on all published maps and meteorological tables of the United States Weather Bureau issued from its many stations. Over four million maps are posted annually in conspicuous places in the important cities and towns of the country, and the tables are printed in many of the large dailies of the principal cities. The publication thus made of the thermal conditions of the United States will result in correcting many erroneous impressions in regard to the climate of the West which have found lodgment in the minds of those accustomed to consider only the air temperature. To present anything like a comprehensive discussion of the widely varying thermal conditions of the United States and a comparative view of the effects of solar insolation on the humid sections of the East, the subarid regions of the middle west, and the arid portions of the Rocky Mountain Plateau necessitates a cursory consideration of the climate of the United States in general and of some selected portions of foreign countries. A proper understanding of the climatic conditions of the region west of the one hundredth parallel is of vast importance, not only to the agricultural, industrial, hygienic, and therapeutic interests of the many states represented in this Congress, but of the United States in general. That which is of vital interest to a part should be, and in this case is, of material interest to the whole. The physical characteristics of this vast region and its geographical boundaries have been so fully described elsewhere that it is not necessary to repeat them here. A word, however, regarding the territory under discussion may not be amiss. The lands west of the one hundredth meridian are generally classed as arid, or semiarid, excepting of course, considerable portions of California, Oregon, and Washington, and mountainous regions of these and other States. The dividing line between arid and agricultural lands (using the latter term as signifying a region of sufficient rainfall for the growth and maturity of the staple crops) is not strongly marked.

Book Synopsis Semi-arid Environments by : Kara M. Degenovine
Download or read book Semi-arid Environments written by Kara M. Degenovine and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Semi-arid climate regions receive low annual precipitation and intermediates between the desert climates and humid climates in ecological characteristics and agricultural potential. Semi-arid climates tend to provide scrubby vegetations in regions where they exist. There are two variations of the semi-arid climate, a hot semi-arid climate and a cold semi-arid climate. This book presents topical research data in the study of semi-arid environments, including the semi-arid environments of the El Melah Lagoon in Tunisia; improving reproductive outputs of small ruminants reared in semi-arid environments; the presence of cyanobacterial soil crusts in semi-arid ecosystems is associated with an increase in carbon and nitrogen sequestration; semi-arid vegetation in Brazil; and the semi-arid zone afforestation in northern Israel.

Book Synopsis Management of Semi-Arid Ecosystems by : B.H. Walker
Download or read book Management of Semi-Arid Ecosystems written by B.H. Walker and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extensive regions of the world have a climate which, whilst permitting development of a continuous vegetative cover, is too dry for successful annual cropping. These are the semi-arid areas where land use is based on the natural vegetation. Easily degraded and difficult to maintain, they are under increasing pressure as expanding human populations move in and endeavour to force a living from them. As a result they contain some of the worst examples of resource degradation. This book examines the problems and opportunities involved in man's use of semi-arid areas. The authors are all actively involved in research and land management in the areas discussed. Each chapter begins with a detailed, up-to-date account of the ecology of the region (its climate, soils, vegetation, fauna and main ecological characteristics). This is followed by a history of land use, problems involved in its management, a review of current research and recommended land use practices. The common features of semi-arid ecosystems are brought together in a final section.

Book Synopsis Hot Deserts and Arid Shrublands by : Michael Evenari
Download or read book Hot Deserts and Arid Shrublands written by Michael Evenari and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1985 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second part of a two-volume work which presents an authoritative world-wide view of our knowledge about, and understanding of, hot-desert ecosystems. This includes some semi-arid and arid areas, as well as deserts in the strict sense. The hot deserts are distinguished from the temperate deserts (which form the subject of another volume in the series) by the virtual absence of snowfall, even though frosts may occur. For each major hot-desert region, expert authors have summarized existing knowledge according to a general outline. This includes descriptions of the ecosystem components (climate, soil, flora and fauna), and discussion of interaction between components and overall ecosystem functioning. The information from the regional chapters has been integrated into a world-wide view in the ''synthesis'' chapters. Because of its length, the volume is published in two parts. The first part included the general synthesis chapters, and regional descriptions of the hot deserts of America and Australia. The present volume covers hot deserts of Asia and Africa.
Download or read book The Arid Zones written by Hilton Kramer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hot and temperate deserts and their marginal steppe lands comprise one-third of the land surface of the world and are an increasingly critical area for the economic wellbeing of world populations. The remarkable mechanisms of floral, faunal, and human adaptation to the distinct and difficult environment of these arid zones, as well as the potential of modern technology for facilitating adaptation, are described and explained by Walton in the light of our most recent knowledge of the phenomena and processes involved.Beginning with a clarification of the definitions of arid and semi-arid regions and with the delineation of techniques for measuring the degree of aridity in these areas, the author shows that there is wide variation among the arid zones in landscape and climate and that there are numerous local and microclimates within any single arid region. The life cycles of the plants and animals of the arid zones are described and the water resources, including problems of salinity, mineral contamination, and the construction of reservoirs, are examined. Extensive treatment is given to potential agricultural adaptations and to pastoralism as the most widespread response to dry land. A final chapter summarizes attempts at adaptation to prevailing drought and discusses the kinds of future development that the author deems most likely in arid zones.Throughout the book emphasis is placed on specific, detailed analysis, with adequate tables and formulas for in-depth understanding of particular aspects of aridity. Examples from both Old and New Worlds are used to demonstrate the spheres in which progress is being made and to show the mistakes in past and present land use in arid areas. An essential supplement for courses in physical geography, the book will be useful in many area studies and in studies of economic development.
Book Synopsis Arid and Semi-Arid Geomorphology by : Andrew S. Goudie
Download or read book Arid and Semi-Arid Geomorphology written by Andrew S. Goudie and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-27 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on four decades of research by Professor Andrew Goudie, this volume provides a state-of-the-art synthesis of our understanding of desert geomorphology. It presents a truly international perspective, with examples from all over the world. Extensively referenced and illustrated, it covers such topics as the importance of past climatic changes, the variability of different desert environments, rock breakdown, wind erosion and dust storm generation, sand dunes, fluvial and slope forms and processes, the role of the applied geomorphologist in desert development and conservation, and the Earth as an analogue for other planetary bodies. This book is destined to become the classic volume on arid and semi-arid geomorphology for advanced students and researchers in physical geography, geomorphology, Earth science, sedimentology, environmental science and archaeology.
