Novel Methods for Monitoring and Managing Land and Water Resources in Siberia By: Lothar Mueller Publisher: Springer Print ISBN: 9783319244075, 3319244078 eText ISBN: 9783319244099, 3319244094 Copyright year: 2016 Format: PDF Available from $ 189.00 USD SKU 9783319244099 This book presents an analysis of land and water resources in Siberia, initially characterizing the landscapes, their ecosystems, crucial processes, human impacts on soil and water quality, and the status quo of available research. Further chapters deal with modern monitoring and management methods that can lead to a significant knowledge shift and initiate sustainable soil and water resources use. These include soil hydrological laboratory measurement methods; process-based field evaluation methods for land and water quality; remote sensing and GIS technology-based landscape monitoring methods; process and ecosystem modeling approaches; methods of resource and process evaluation and functional soil mapping; and tools for controlling agricultural land use systems. More than 15 of these concrete monitoring and management tools can immediately be incorporated into research and practice. Maintaining the functions of great landscapes for future generations will be the reward for these efforts. Download now: https://ouo.io/NgFPZw
