Soil Carbon Sequestration and the Greenhouse Effect

Worldwide concern about increases in greenhouse gases and their potential effects on global climate change has brought attention to what scientists are calling the missing C question. This publication delivers information on soil C sequestration in croplands, range lands, forest lands, and set-aside or CRP lands in the United States and Canada. A state-of-the-art knowledge compendium, this text will be valued by environmental scientists, and is also a well-written, accessible addition to the classroom.
