Beschreibung

4to. xiv + 517pp. The drylands are home to more than a billion people in some 100 countries. They are rich in agrobiodiversity, but they present a unique ecosystem that is caharcterized by low mean annual rainfall, high evaporative demand, and high annual and seasonal climatic variability. This publication presents the text of presentations made at the Seventh International Conference on the Development of Drylands, held on 14-17 September 2003, in Tehran, Iran. It represents yet another milestone in the efforts of the International Dryland Development Commission (IDDC) to promote awareness about the challenges in the sustainable development of dryland areas and strengthen scientific networks to tackle the problems. It is a good resource material for researchers, extension workers, development agencies and NGOs, and other members of the society engaged in the task of environmental protection and in promoting sustainable development in dryland areas.
