Εξώφυλλο
L. J. Bull, M. J. Kirkby
John Wiley & Sons, 29 Μαρ 2002 - 400 σελίδες
Examines the processes operating in the headwaters and main channels of ephemeral rivers in semi-arid environments and includes coverage of current fieldwork investigations, modeling approaches, and management issues.
  • focuses on dryland channel networks and processes
  • presents a historical framework for research
  • discusses examples of current studies and evaluates contemporary modelling approaches
  • Emphasis is on the Mediterranean region, with comparisons to other dryland regimes eg California, Australia, Chile.
