Junto con la sobre población y el cambio climático, la erosión y la desertificación es uno de los tres grandes problemas que enfrenta nuestro planeta. Hoy en dÃa, alrededor de 36 hectáreas se pierden cada minuto debido a causas antrópicas (tales como el sobre pastoreo, las actividades agrÃcolas, la tala de bosques, la construcción de caminos, los incendios forestales, o cualquier actividad que altere la superficie del suelo), y casi la mitad de éstas jamás se recupera. Este libro contiene las herramientas necesarias para que el lector sea capaz de recuperar la productividad de terrenos afectados por la erosión y/o la desertificación. AsÃ, el autor ha desarrollado tres grandes unidades de conocimientos: 1) caracterización de procesos erosivos, 2) hidrologÃa y determinación de caudales punta para el diseño de obras y 3) diseño y selección de prácticas destinadas al control de la erosión y la recuperación de suelos degradados. Siendo la continuación de Procesos y control de la erosión, publicado en el año 2008, este nuevo libro está dirigido a profesionales, consultores, inspectores, profesores y estudiantes de carreras como ingenierÃa forestal, agricultura, ganaderÃa, ingenierÃa civil, hidrologÃa, paisajismo o cualquier área relacionada con el manejo de recursos naturales. Por lo general, el libro se utiliza exitosamente en América Latina y España, como texto guÃa para cursos universitarios de conservación de suelos, tanto a nivel de pre-grado como de post-grado.
