Eco-Resilience: Climate Change, Land Degradation and Sustainable Solutions
Springer Nature
This book offers a critical and timely exploration of two of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time—climate change and land degradation—and the transformative role that eco-resilience can play in addressing them. As global environmental shifts intensify, ecosystems, livelihoods, and development trajectories are increasingly at risk. This volume responds to this urgency by positioning eco-resilience—the capacity of ecosystems to absorb shocks and maintain essential functions—as a guiding principle for sustainable restoration and adaptive management. Drawing upon multidisciplinary perspectives, the book presents a well-structured and accessible synthesis of cutting-edge research, real-world case studies, and policy insights from across the globe. Organized into three thematic sections, the book begins by establishing the foundational concepts and scientific understanding of the climate–land nexus. It then moves into detailed regional and global perspectives on climate-induced land degradation, highlighting vulnerable ecosystems and emerging trends. The final section turns toward solutions—showcasing community-based practices, technological innovations, nature-based…
