Soil Carbon in Sensitive European Ecosystems – From Science to
Land Management is a comprehensive overview of the latest
research in this field drawn together by a network of scientists
from across Europe. Soil carbon assessments are crucial at present
to our understanding of the dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems and
our ability to assess implications for the global carbon exchange
and its consequences on the future climate.
This book focuses primarily on ecosystems and their soil carbon
stocks. The book identifies three key sensitive ecosystems within
Europe: Mediterranean Forest and Agricultural Systems; Mountains;
and Peatland.
Contributors include those currently working for the European
research programme, COST Action 639 Burn Out (www.cost639.net;
2006-2010).
COST Action 639 emerged from a demand from policy makers
in Europe for more detailed information on soil carbon dynamics.
The cooperation between experts for reporting and experts for soil
dynamics is the focus of the book. This book seeks to provide an
up-to-date account on the state-of-the-art research within this
topical field.
