According to the IPCC (2019), 70% of the Earth's ice-free land is impacted by human activity, with a quarter experiencing degradation. Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs), already vulnerable, face heightened threats, affecting ecosystems, livelihoods, climate stability, and biodiversity. Despite the urgency, research and conservation efforts in ESAs remain limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Special Issue, entitled \"Land Degradation in Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA): Assessment and Conservation\" aims to address these gaps by focusing on two main objectives: (1) advancing the assessment and quantification of land degradation, and (2) exploring innovative solutions and methodologies to combat degradation and promote sustainable land management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 216\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 9.61 x 6.69 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 27, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48659805602013,"sku":"9783725844791","price":119.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/Sb6r_-pAM79783725844791.webp?v=1789818696","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/land-degradation-in-environmentally-sensitive-areas-esa-assessment-and-conservation-hardcover","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
