Soil Management and Greenhouse Effect

Soil Management & Greenhouse Effect focuses on proper management of soils & its effects on global change, specifically, the greenhouse effect. It contains up-to-date information on a broad range of important soil management topics, emphasizing the critical role of soil for carbon storage. Sequestration & emission of carbon & other gases are examined in various ecosystems, in both natural & managed environments, to provide a comprehensive overview. This useful reference includes chapters that address policy issues, as well as research & development priorities. The material in this volume is valuable not only to soil scientists but to the entire environmental science community.
