1. Soil Carbon Management

   Economic, Environmental and Societal Benefits

   Edited by John M. Kimble, Charles W. Rice, Debbie Reed, Sian Mooney, Ronald F. Follett, Rattan Lal

   Better Manage Soil C for Improved Soil Quality In the United States, soil has fueled the availability of abundant, safe food, thus underpinning economic growth and development. In the future we need to be more vigilant in managing and renewing this precious resource by replacing the nutrients and...

2. Agricultural Practices and Policies for Carbon Sequestration in Soil

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

   The potential to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and global climate change is one factor driving agricultural policy development of programs that might pay farmers for practices with a high potential to sequester carbon. With chapters by economists, policy makers, farmers, land managers, energy...

3. 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,...

4. The Potential of U.S. Grazing Lands to Sequester Carbon and Mitigate the Greenhouse Effect

   Edited by Ronald F. Follett, John M. Kimble

   Grazing lands represent the largest and most diverse land resource-taking up over half the earth's land surface. The large area grazing land occupies, its diversity of climates and soils, and the potential to improve its use and productivity all contribute to its importance for sequestering C and...

5. The Potential of U.S. Cropland to Sequester Carbon and Mitigate the Greenhouse Effect

   By John M. Kimble, Ronald F. Follett, C. Vernon Cole

   This report assesses the potential of U.S. cropland to sequester carbon, concluding that properly applied soil restorative processes and best management practices can help mitigate the greenhouse effect by decreasing the emissions of greenhouse gases from U.S. agricultural activities and by making...

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...
