| Description: |
Looking at a broad spectrum of countries, in particular the USA, CHile and Tunisia, this book uses detailed new case studies to examine desert climates, ecosystems, landscapes and processes. |
| Synopsis: |
Arid and Semi-Arid Environments focuses upon major themes in the study of desert landscapes, processes and landforms. The book considers the physical causes of aridity, the desert hydrological cycle and the problems of water supply. Particular attention is paid to desert ecosystems and how they are related to aridity. A detailed study is made of the wide range of landforms which are unique to desert areas and how they were formed. Evidence in the landscape of past climates is examined in relation to the current debate on desertification. |
