"It is important to disseminate regional advances in knowledge to help mitigate the adverse impacts on soil and landscape of a wide range of human activity - agriculture, forestry, mining, land reclamation and construction. The book features a wide ranging collection of research and case study presentations. They are presented in four topical sections which provide a unique and valuable overview of the versatility and successful performance of ground and water bioengineering throughout the Asia-Pacific region."--BOOK JACKET.
