The  accumulation of run-off water in diggings and depressions made by  animals increases the carrying capacity of these microhabitats in the  desert biome. \u003cbr\u003e  The accumulation of run-off water does not only benefit the natural  vegetation; a system of human-made depressions can be evolved to  increase the catchment of the run-off water that is typical to many  desert habitats, and can lead to run-off agriculture in such areas.  \u003cbr\u003e  This book will be of interest to anyone working in the fields of  development of deserts from the ecological point of view, water  resources, soil protection and erosion, plant ecophysiology and  settlement, and agronomy. It will be helpful to students, researchers,  teachers, and anyone interested in any of these areas.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31 March 2001\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Netherlands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780792367253\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e246\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51213899301004,"sku":"9780792367253","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792367253.jpg?v=1782998949","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792367253","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
