Novel Methods for Monitoring and Managing Land and Water Resources in Siberia

This book presents an analysis of land and water resources in Siberia, characterizing landscapes, their ecosystems, crucial processes, human impacts on soil and water quality, and the status quo of conducted research. Further chapters deal with modern monitoring and management methods which can lead to a significant knowledge shift and initiate sustainable soil and water resources use. These are soil hydrological laboratory measurement methods; process-based field evaluation methods of land and water quality; remote sensing and GIS technology-based landscape monitoring methods; process and ecosystem modelling approaches; methods of resource and process evaluation and functional soil mapping; and tools for controlling agricultural land use systems. More than 15 concrete monitoring and management tools can immediately be introduced into research and practice. Maintaining the functions of great landscapes for future human generations will be the reward of those efforts.
