"With a systematic and interdisciplinary approach, this book brings together world-renowned international scientists on the recent progresses in understanding and evaluating soil biogeochemical processes spanning from atomic to global scales. This book is useful for sustainable agricultural development and management of soil ecosystems under climate changes. The book is composed of 14 chapters including three parts and one overview introduction chapter. Part I with four chapters is focused on the molecular-scale processes and reactions. Part II with four chapters covers ecosystem-level observations. Part III with five chapters emphasizes large-scale modeling and the strategy for improvement of ecosystem resilience to climate change"--
MULTI-SCALE BIOGEOCHEMICAL PROCESSES IN SOIL ECOSYSTEMS Provides a state-of-the-art overview of research in soil biogeochemical processes and strategies for greenhouse gas mitigation under climate change
Food security and soil health for the rapidly growing human population are threatened by increased temperature and drought, soil erosion and soil quality degradation, and other problems caused by human activities and a changing climate. Because greenhouse gas emission is the primary driver of climate change, a complete understanding of the cycles of carbon and major nutritional elements is critical for developing innovative strategies to sustain agricultural development and environmental conservation.
Multi-Scale Biogeochemical Processes in Soil Ecosystems: Critical Reactions and Resilience to Climate Changes is an up-to-date overview of recent research in soil biogeochemical processes and applications in ecosystem management. Organized into three parts, the text examines molecular-scale processes and critical reactions, presents ecosystem-scale studies of ecological hotspots, and discusses large-scale modeling and prediction of global biogeochemical cycles. Part of the Wiley - IUPAC Series on Biophysico-Chemical Processes in Environmental Systems, this authoritative volume:
- Provides readers with a systematic and interdisciplinary approach to sustainable agricultural development and management of soil ecosystems in a changing climate
- Features contributions from an international team of leading scientists
- Examines topics such as soil organic matter stabilization, soil biogeochemistry modeling, and soil responses to environmental changes
- Discusses strategies for mitigating greenhouse gas emission and improving soil health and ecosystems resilience
- Includes an introduction to working across scales to project soil biogeochemical responses to climatic change
Multi-Scale Biogeochemical Processes in Soil Ecosystems: Critical Reactions and Resilience to Climate Changes is essential reading for scientists, engineers, agronomists, chemists, biologists, academic researchers, consultants, and other professionals whose work involves the nutrient cycle, ecosystem management, and climate change.
