Modeling Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics for Soil Managementby M.J. Shaffer
CRC Press 2001; US$ 119.95This text presents a systematic summarization of the models available to carbon and nitrogen dynamics for soil management, and provides information about the strengths and weaknesses, level of complexity, ease of use and the application range of each model. more...
The Potential of U.S. Forest Soils to Sequester Carbon and Mitigate the Greenhouse Effectby John M. Kimble
CRC Press 2002; US$ 199.95In negotiations over the Kyoto protocol and in other climate control discussions, US representatives argued that the United States should be able to use its relative abundance of forests as "carbon-sinks" in order to offset higher levels of carbon pollution. more...
The Potential of U.S. Grazing Lands to Sequester Carbon and Mitigate the Greenhouse Effectby Ronald F. Follett
CRC Press 2000; US$ 119.95This text provides a framework in which to consider grazing land issues, especially Soil C containment potential. The text describes grazing lands, the areas they occupy, and their role in improving the environment. more...
Soil Carbon Managementby John M. Kimble
Taylor & Francis 2007; US$ 129.95Explores the advantages of effective soil carbon (C) management. This resource provides a conceptual framework to develop policies for managing and enhancing soil C and presents approaches to achieve positive environmental outcomes. more...
Soil Carbon in Sensitive European Ecosystemsby Robert Jandl; Mirco Rodeghiero; Mats Olsson
John Wiley & Sons 2011; US$ 129.95Soil Carbon and Greenhouse Gas Dynamics in European Ecosystems is a comprehensive overview of the latest research in this field drawn together by a network of scientists, currently working for the European research programme, COST Action 639 BurnOut(www.cost639.net; 2006-2010). COST Action 639 emerged from a demand from policy makers in Europe for more detailed information on soil carbon dynamics. The cooperation between experts for reporting and experts for soil dynamics is the focus of the book. This book seeks to provide an up-to-date account on the state-of-the-art research within this topical field. This book focuses primarily on ecosystems and their soil carbon stocks. The book identifies three key sensitive ecosystems within Europe:... more...
Carbon Sequestration in Agricultural Soilsby Alessandro Piccolo
Springer 2012; US$ 129.00This compilation of techniques, methodologies and scientific data arises from a four-year Italian research project, which took place at university research stations in Turin, Piacenza, Naples and Potenza. Soil Organic Matter (SOM) represents an active and essential pool of the total organic carbon on the planet. Consequently, even small changes in this SOM carbon pool may have a significant impact on the concentration of atmospheric CO2. Recent new understanding of the chemical nature of SOM indicates that innovative and sustainable technologies may be applied to sequester carbon in agricultural soils. Overall results of the project have been applied to develop an innovative model for the prediction and description, both quantitatively and... more...
