ISBN: 1566700337 ISBN-13: 9781566700337 Publisher: CRC Press OUR PRICE: $308.75 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: October 1995 Annotation: Explore the mechanisms and processes involved in the storage and sequestration of carbon in soils. Focusing on agricultural soils - from tropical to semi-arid types - this book provides an in-depth look at structure, aggregation, and organic matter retention in world soils. Anyone involved in soil science, agriculture, agronomy, plant science, or greenhouse gas/global change studies should understand the relationship between soil structure and organic matter storage. This book provides an ideal source of information not only on the soil structure-storage relationship itself, but also on key research efforts and direct applications related to the storage of organic matter in agricultural soils. |

Publisher Description: Soils comprise the largest pool of terrestrial carbon and therefore are an important component of carbon storage in the biosphere-atmosphere system. Structure and Organic Matter Storage in Agricultural Soils explores the mechanisms and processes involved in the storage and sequestration of carbon in soils. Focusing on agricultural soils - from tropical to semi-arid types - this new book provides an in-depth look at structure, aggregation, and organic matter retention in world soils. |
