2. Climate Change and Global Food Security

   Edited by Rattan Lal, Norman Uphoff, Bobby A. Stewart, David O. Hansen

   Series: Books in Soils, Plants, and the Environment

   In order to feed their burgeoning populations, developing nations will need to double cereal production by the year 2050. This increase will have to come from existing land, as little potential exists for bringing new land under cultivation -- a daunting prospect when one realizes that increased...

3. Soil Classification

   A Global Desk Reference

   Edited by Hari Eswaran, Robert Ahrens, Thomas J. Rice, Bobby A. Stewart

   Developments in soil classification have accompanied parallel progress in our understanding of the soil system. However the theories behind the classifications and the purposes for which they were created have changed over time. The editors hope that this comprehensive synthesis will help to rally...

4. Assessment Methods for Soil Carbon

   Edited by John M. Kimble, Ronald F. Follett, Bobby A. Stewart

   Series: Advances in Soil Science

   Since carbon sequestration in soils reduces the amount of carbon available to the atmosphere, the Kyoto Protocols have heightened interest in soil carbon pools and their effect on carbon fluxes. Assessment Methods for Soil Carbon addresses many of the questions related to the measurement,...

5. Global Climate Change and Tropical Ecosystems

   Edited by John M. Kimble, Bobby A. Stewart

   Tropical ecosystems - the regions between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn - play an important role in global processes, economic issues, and political concerns. In their natural state, tropical ecosystems support a large quantity of above- and below-ground biomass, and constitute a major part...

6. Soil Processes and the Carbon Cycle

   Edited by Rattan Lal, John M. Kimble, Ronald F. Follett, Bobby A. Stewart

   Series: Advances in Soil Science

   World soils contain about 1500 gigatons of organic carbon. This large carbon reserve can increase atmospheric concentrations of CO2 by soil misuse or mismanagement, or it can reverse the 'greenhouse' effect by judicious land use and proper soil management. Soil Processes and the Carbon Cycle...
