Global Climate Change and Tropical Ecosystems presents data on carbon pool fluxes from case studies in 12 countries in tropical regions. The chapters cover: characteristics of tropical ecosystems, soil and biotic carbon pools, impacts of land use and soil management, slash-and-burn practices, crop residue and fertility management. This volume 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. With Global Climate Change and Tropical Ecosystems readers will understand the link between soil productivity, environmental quality and the global carbon cycle, not only in these ecologically sensitive regions but worldwide. TOC:Carbon Pool in Tropical Ecosystems. Land Use and Carbon Pool in Soils of Africa Land Use and Carbon Pools in Soils of Tropical America. Land Use and Carbon Pool in Soils of Asia and the Pacific.
