The Potential of U.S. Grazing Lands to Sequester Carbon and Mitigate the Greenhouse Effect

Editat de Ronald F. Follett, John M. Kimble
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 sep 2000
Grazing lands represent the largest and most diverse land resource-taking up over half the earth's land surface. The large area grazing land occupies, its diversity of climates and soils, and the potential to improve its use and productivity all contribute to its importance for sequestering C and mitigating the greenhouse effect and other conditions brought about by climate change. The Potential of U.S. Grazing Lands to Sequester Carbon and Mitigate the Greenhouse Effect gives you an in-depth look at this possibility.

Recenzii

"The book is well edited and produced, and is accompanied with an appendix of abbreviations used in the text, and a list of SI multipliers... I recommend the book mainly to soil and plant scientists, ecophysiologists, and ecologists."

Descriere

Providing a framework in which to consider grazing land issues, The Potential of U.S. Grazing Lands to Sequester Carbon and Mitigate the Greenhouse Effect is the first comprehensive evaluation of the soil C containment potential of grazing lands. The book describes grazing lands, the areas they occupy, and their role in improving the environment. Containing 98 figures and 55 tables, it explores the extent to which grazing lands should be considered as potential carbon sinks. It also compares practices that result in soil carbon sequestration and summarizes approaches for policy makers and research agencies.
