Books about Sequester from Amazon.com

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..

This report assesses the potential of U.S. cropland to sequester carbon, concluding that properly applied soil restorative processes and best management practices can help mitigate the greenhouse effect by decreasing the emissions of greenhouse gases from U.S. agricultural activities and by making U.S. cropland a major sink for carbon sequestration.Topics include:·Describe the greenhouse processes and global tends in emissions as well as the three principal components of anthropogenic global warming potential·Present data on U.S. emissions and agriculture's related role·Examines the soil organic carbon (SOC) pool in soils of the U.S. and its loss due to cultivation·Provides a reference for the magnitude of carbon sequestration potential·Analyzes the primary processes governing greenhouse gas emission from the pedosphere·Establishes a link between SOC content and soil quality·Outlines strategies for mitigating emissions from U.S. cropland·Discusses soil erosion management·Assesses the potential of using cropland to create biomass for direct fuel to produce power·Details the potential for sequestering carbon by intensifying prime agricultural landThe Potential of U.S. Cropland to Sequester Carbon and Mitigate the Greenhouse Effect provides an exceptional framework for the adoption of science-based management methods on U.S. cropland, encouraging appropriate agricultural practices for the sustainable use of our natural resources and the improvement of our nation's environment..
