Soil Carbon Sequestration

Climate change and food insecurity are the two major threats to humankind, and both are linked to global cycling of carbon. Soil Carbon Sequestrations provides readers with strategies to manage the threats to soil carbon. This book provides the science and mechanistic understanding of soil C sequestration, along with practical strategies for management. Topics include key issues such as soil biogeochemistry, mechanistic pathways of sequestration under different climatic and soil types and its future predictions, ways to increase its residence time in soils (stabilization) and the factors governed. Also covered are management strategies related to innovative mitigation options and region-specific management options for its enhancement, measuring credits accrued for sequestration. Soil Carbon Sequestration is an excellent resource for scientists and resource managers who need information on the implications of soil C sequestration for productivity and climate policy decisions.
