Lal, R. (ed.): Soil Carbon Sequestration and the Greenhouse Effect

Abstract

Second edition. This book is about the concept of the Greenhouse Effect is more than a century old, but today the observed and predicted climate changes. This second edition of Soil Carbon Sequestration and the Greenhouse Effect is essential reading for understandingthe processes, properties, and practices affecting the soil carbon pool and its dynamics.
