About the product
Most studies of desertification, acknowledge the role of human activity in affecting and often initiating the process. That human activity is in response to a variety of decisions on and systems of resource management. This publication provides studies of resource management in four areas where desertification is said to be occurring and documents the role of perception of desertification in the decision-making on resource management. The studies are on the dry zone of Sri Lanka, the Southern Great Plains of North America, the Murray Mallee of Southern Australia and the irrigation of the Murray Valley in South Australia.
