This is largely due to the fact that degradations and restitutions often coincide with historical events, which are not readily visible in textual and tabular presentations. Compiled into 25 maps and graphs our selection shows a number of important aspects of degradation and restitution, which, in our contention, benefit from a visual/cartographic presentation.
