Springer The Future of Arid Lands-Revisited Research Book

Explore the evolution of drylands science with The Future of Arid Lands-Revisited. This volume, part of the Advances in Global Change Research series, offers a deep look into how research has changed over the last five decades. It begins by examining the foundational work from the 1956 publication edited by Gilbert White, which originated from the International Arid Lands Meetings held in New Mexico in 1955. This book provides a historical perspective on the major issues facing the world's arid regions. By reexamining early research agendas and comparing them to modern developments, readers can understand the shifts in science and management within their historical contexts. It is a valuable resource for those studying the long-term trends in global change and the management of dryland habitats.
