Land Degradation and Desertification: Assessment, Mitigation, and Remediation reports research results in sustainable land management and land degradation status and mitigation in 36 countries around the world.

With a specific focus on desertification and land degradation, the volume covers the assessment of related biophysical indicators, as well as complementary qualitive information at different spatial and temporal scales. It is shown how remote sensing data may be utilized in the context of assessing and monitoring affected ecosystems and how this information may be assimilated into integrated interpretation and modelling concepts. The volume is of interest to those working at the interface of ecosystem services, land degradation/desertification, spatial ecology, remote sensing and spatial modelling.
