Land degradation is arguably Australia's major environmental problem. Rapid population growth and the advocacy of rural technology have led to accelerated soil erosion, soil fertility decline, the loss of wildlife inhabitants and genetic resources, and deterioration of surface and ground water, with serious social and economic consequences. Rural Land Degradation takes a rigorous scientific approach, looking at the nature and process of land degradation, its causes and effects. It examines the nature of the overall problem in a global context, the degradation of Australia's ecosystems, problems associated with the increasing use of synthetic chemicals, the direct and underlying causes of land degradation as well as the broader social and economic implications. The final chapter evaluates some solutions to the range of identified problems. Students of geography, agriculture, environmental science and rural planning, along with all others interested in an objective appraisal of land degradation will find this an engaging, accessible and informative book.
