LAND DEGRADATION & DEVELOPMENT英文简介

Land Degradation & Development is an international journal which seeks to promote rational study of the recognition, monitoring, control and rehabilitation of degradation in terrestrial environments. The journal focuses on:what land degradation is;what causes land degradation;the impacts of land degradationthe scale of land degradation;the history, current status or future trends of land degradation;avoidance, mitigation and control of land degradation;remedial actions to rehabilitate or restore degraded land;sustainable land management.Land degradation may be defined as the loss of utility or potential utility through the reduction of or damage to physical, social, cultural or economic features, and/or reduction of ecosystem diversity. There may be a single cause or a complex mix of causes, some may be biogeophysical ('natural'), some socioeconomic ('human') and it is quite possible that cause(s) will be indirect, perhaps cumulative and difficult to identify. A major challenge is to learn how interactions between development and environment can be better managed to increase prospects for ecologically and socially sustainable improvements to human well-being. Development means attempts to improve human well-being or environmental quality in rich and poor nations on a sustained basis (sustainable development).Papers are invited on scientific, social, economic, political and historical aspects of terrestrial environmental degradation. Also welcome are analyses presenting forecasts of trends, case studies and discussion on management, planning and policy-making relating to the promotion of ecological sustainability and the counteraction of land degradation.In addition to original research papers, regional and thematic reviews, both invited and submitted, will be included, as will short communications, book reviews and applications of remote sensing and computer techniques. The members of the Editorial Board are drawn from a comprehensive range of disciplines and nationalities. Together with a strict refereeing procedure this will ensure Land Degradation & Development maintains a high standard and presents material from a wide range of disciplines, from interdisciplinary study and with an international coverage. Land Degradation & Development practices a non- politics/gender/religion/race policy as a science journal. Figures should not contain material such as disputed territory, and text should not contain discriminatory or derogatory material.

LAND DEGRADATION & DEVELOPMENT中文简介

《土地退化与发展》是一份国际期刊，旨在促进对陆地环境退化的认识、监测、控制和恢复的合理研究。该杂志的重点是:什么是土地退化;导致土地退化的原因;土地退化的影响土地退化程度;土地退化的历史、现状或未来趋势;避免、减轻和控制土地退化;恢复或恢复退化土地的补救行动;可持续土地管理。土地退化可定义为通过减少或破坏物理、社会、文化或经济特征和/或减少生态系统多样性而造成的效用或潜在效用的损失。原因可能是单一的，也可能是复杂的，有些可能是生物地球物理的(“自然”)，有些是社会经济的(“人类”)，很可能是间接的，可能是累积的，很难确定。一项重大挑战是了解如何更好地管理发展与环境之间的相互作用，以增加对人类福祉的生态和社会可持续改善的前景。发展是指在持续的基础上努力改善富国和穷国的人类福祉或环境质量(可持续发展)。邀请发表关于陆地环境退化的科学、社会、经济、政治和历史方面的论文。此外，令人欢迎的是提出趋势预测的分析报告、关于促进生态可持续性和防止土地退化的管理、规划和决策的案例研究和讨论。除了原有的研究论文外，还将包括应邀和提交的区域和专题评论，以及简短的通讯、书籍评论和遥感和计算机技术的应用。编辑委员会的成员来自广泛的学科和民族。通过严格的评审程序，这将确保土地退化与发展保持高标准，并呈现来自广泛学科、跨学科研究和国际范围的材料。《土地退化与发展》是一本非政治/性别/宗教/种族政策的科学杂志。数字不应包含有争议的领土等材料，案文也不应包含歧视性或贬损性材料。
