Ecosystem Services and Carbon Sequestration in the Biosphere de Rattan Lal

Ecosystem Services and Carbon Sequestration in the Biosphere

Editat de Rattan Lal, Klaus Lorenz, Reinhard F. Hüttl, Bernd Uwe Schneider, Joachim von Braun
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 iun 2013
Ecological functions and human wellbeing depend on ecosystem services. Among the ecosystem services are provisional (food, feed, fuel, fiber), regulating (carbon sequestration, waste recycling, water cleansing), cultural (aesthetic, recreational, spiritual), and supporting services (soil formation, photosynthesis, nutrient cycling). Many relationships of various degree exist among ecosystem services. Thus, land use and soil management to enhance biospheric carbon sinks for carbon sequestration requires a comprehensive understanding on the effects on ecosystem services. Payments for ecosystem services including carbon pricing must address the relationship between carbon sequestration and ecosystem services to minimize risks of overshoot, and promote sustainable use of land-based carbon sinks for human wellbeing.

Recenzii

From the reviews:
 
“This 19-chapter volume … presents the issues, facts, societal challenges, and potential solutions in stimulating the strengths of carbon sequestration in different ecosystems worldwide. … Valuable for students, researchers in global change science, policy makers, and carbon management practitioners. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.” (J. Chen, Choice, Vol. 51 (7), March, 2014)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This book describes comprehensively potential, co-benefits and drawbacks of carbon (C) sequestration for ecosystem services. Soil generates numerous ecosystem services for human wellbeing and ecological functions. The services discussed include provisional (feed, food, timber, biofuel), regulating (carbon sequestration, pests, diseases), cultural, and supporting (soil formation, nutrient cycling) services. Recarbonization of the biosphere is a potential strategy to redistribute C among global pools, and to enhance ocean but most importantly land-based C sinks with possible feedback on soil-based ecosystem services. Land use and soil management can degrade soil quality, and either reduce quantity and quality of ecosystem services or lead to disservices and create large ecological footprint. Thus, trade-offs between carbon sequestration and ecosystem services must be considered when incentivizing land managers through payments for ecosystem services. Together with sustainable management of land-based C sinks for climate change adaptation and mitigation this will minimize the risks of recarbonization of the biosphere for ecological functions and human wellbeing.

Caracteristici

Renowned experts deliberate on the possible effects of recarbonization of the biosphere on ecosystem services and human wellbeing The comparison of ecosystem services and their interaction with carbon sequestration in the biosphere helps the reader in identifying challenges and opportunities to incentivize payments for ecosystem services Includes interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches for minimizing risks for ecosystem services by a recarbonized biosphere
