Globally the expansion of human settlements and infrastructure, intensification of agriculture, and expansion of agriculture into marginal areas and fragile ecosystems emphasizes the need for integrated planning and management of land resources.<br/><br/>This book is an outcome of the valuable contributions made by eminent scientists and research scholars who have been striving to develop alternative strategies, solutions and models for sustainable development of land resources through research, screening, monitoring and experiments varying from regional to global level. This edition would be of immense use to the policy-makers, environmentalists, ecologists, academician research scholars and people in general concerned with land resources, ecology and environment.
