About this book

Presents data on carbon pool fluxes from case studies in 12 countries in tropical regions, with chapters on: Characteristics of tropical ecosystems; Soil and biotic carbon pools; Impacts of land use and soil management; Slash-and-burn practices; and Crop residue and fertility management. Adds to the understanding of pedospheric processes in tropical ecosystems and how to better use soils as a sink for carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
