Description:Wetlands store more carbon per unit area than any other ecosystem. Terrestrial carbon storage has the capacity to influence atmospheric CO2 concentrations greatly into the future through reforestation activity, forest stand management, agricultural crop management, grassland management, ecosystem restoration, and natural ecosystem protections. However, per unit area, wetlands stand to provide greater value because of their generally reduced organic matter decomposition and high productivity. Counter to that, would be hydrologic practices that cause massive oxidation when wetlands are drained or managed dry, while CH4 emissions can be enhanced under some freshwater management regimes, such that managing lands as progressively wetter conditions alone may not be a solution. Wetland Carbon and Environmental Management thus will synthesize wetland research studies conducted around the world that link environmental management actions to carbon, including carbon storage, regulation of atmospheric carbon fluxes, lateral carbon transport, enhanced carbon sequestration, and improved ecosystem service value related to carbon.Volume highlights include: - Linking of components of the global carbon cycle to how active wetland management activity might be used to influence carbon uptake and storage- Case study approach to understand the science and management implications of wetland ecology- A review of projects that either link carbon sequestration or greenhouse gas management to active wetland management, or to environmental factors that can be managed- Emphasis on the importance of selecting the appropriate techniques for carbon assessment during active wetland management- Global links to scale between active wetland management, which often occurs at small scales, to the larger picture through remote sensing descriptions, case studies, and policy links; the net result is a response to a current request by the U.S. Global Change Research Program in its Second State of Carbon Cycle Report for research on carbon management and mitigation for multiple decision-making stakeholder and policy fronts- Suggestion of a general approach for considering and valuing carbon sequestration as a co-benefit of wetland managementWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
