Soil carbon storage : modulators, mechanisms and modeling
Contributor(s): Singh, Brajesh K. [ed.].
Publisher: Oxford Academic Press 2018Description: xviii, 321p.ISBN: 9780128127667.Subject(s): Soils -- Carbon content | Carbon sequestration | Soil fertilityDDC classification: 631.41 | So34 Summary: Soil Carbon Storage: Modulators, Mechanisms and Modeling takes a novel approach to the issue of soil carbon storage by considering soil C sequestration as a function of the interaction between biotic (e.g. microbes and plants) and abiotic (climate, soil types, management practices) modulators as a key driver of soil C. These modulators are central to C balance through their processing of C from both plant inputs and native soil organic matter. This book considers this concept in the light of state-of-the-art methodologies that elucidate these interactions and increase our understanding of a vitally important, but poorly characterized component of the global C cycle. The book provides soil scientists with a comprehensive, mechanistic, quantitative and predictive understanding of soil carbon storage. It presents a new framework that can be included in predictive models and management practices for better prediction and enhanced C storage in soils. Identifies management practices to enhance storage of soil C under different agro-ecosystems, soil types and climatic conditions Provides novel conceptual frameworks of biotic (especially microbial) and abiotic data to improve prediction of simulation model at plot to global scale Advances the conceptual framework needed to support robust predictive models and sustainable land management practices| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
