دانلود کتاب Soil Carbon in Sensitive European Ecosystems: From Science to Land Management

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 BurnOut (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.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction to Carbon in Sensitive European Ecosystems: From Science to Land Management (pages 1–12): Robert Jandl and Mats OlssonChapter 2 Hot Spots and Hot Moments for Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Soils (pages 13–32): Frank Hagedorn and Pat BellamyChapter 3 Land?Use Change Effects on Soil Carbon Stocks in Temperate Regions – Development of Carbon Response Functions (pages 33–48): Lars Vesterdal, Jens Leifeld, Christopher Poeplau, Axel Don and Bas van WesemaelChapter 4 Carbon in European Soils (pages 49–84): Rainer Baritz, Dietmar Zirlewagen, Robert Jones, Dominique Arrouays, Roland Hiederer, Marion Schrumpf and Winfried RiekChapter 5 Ecosystem Disturbance and Soil Organic Carbon – A Review (pages 85–117): Helga Van Miegroet and Mats OlssonChapter 6 Mountain Soils in a Changing Climate – Vulnerability of Carbon Stocks and Ecosystem Feedbacks (pages 118–148): Sofie Sjogersten, Christine Alewell, Lauric Cecillon, Frank Hagedorn, Robert Jandl, Jens Leifeld, Vegard Martinsen, Andreas Schindlbacher, M. ?Teresa Sebastia and Helga Van MiegroetChapter 7 Greenhouse Gas Balance in Disturbed Peatlands (pages 149–174): Jukka Alm, Kenneth A.
