Soil Erosion and Conservation

This fully revised and updated edition continues to provide a comprehensive treatment of soil erosion processes and their control, with a practical approach to the design of soil conservation methods. This edition includes material on the socio-economic context, new developments in modelling techniques, and soil erosion and conservation is set in a broader environmental context.

Roy Morgan is Emeritus Professor in Soil Erosion Control in the National Soil Resources Institute (NSRI), Cranfield University, UK. He is a founder member and past President of the European Society for Soil Conservation and, before retirement, was the Deputy Director of NSRI. He has some 35 years’ experience in lecturing, research and consultancy on soil erosion, with particular interests in erosion assessment, erosion modelling and the use of vegetation in soil protection. His work has taken him to many countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe and has involved the design of soil protection measures on farmland, road banks and pipeline corridors.
