Global Climate Change and Tropical Ecosystems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780367399085)

Global Climate Change and Tropical Ecosystems presents data on carbon pool fluxes from case studies in 12 countries. The chapters cover: characteristics of tropical ecosystems, soil and biotic carbon pools, impacts of land use and soil management, slash-and-burn practices, and crop residue and fertility management. The book adds to the understanding of pedospheric processes in tropical ecosystems and how to better use soils as a sink for carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Readers will understand the link between soil productivity, environmental quality, and the global carbon cycle, not only in these ecologically sensitive regions but also worldwide.
