Status of human-induced soil degradation in South and South-East Asia (ASSOD)
Entry ID: ISRIC_Assod

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: Following publication of the World Map of the Satus of Human-induced Land Degradation (GLASOD), at scale 1:10M, the need for more detailed and more country-specific degradation assessment became apparent. In 1993, the members of the Asian Network on Problem Soils recommended the preparation of a qualitative assessment for South and Southeast Asian at a scale of 1:5 million. The assessment was ...
