Paperback. Condition: New. This book features five peer-reviewed reviews on the process of soil carbon sequestration.The first chapter discusses the relationship between soil carbon sequestration and humanity, as well as the global importance of soil carbon sequestration in removing CO2 from the atmosphere.The second chapter describes the distribution and dynamics of diverse components of the soil carbon or pedological reservoir and explains the impact of anthropogenic activities on the soil. The chapter also considers the range of management strategies that may be used to restore the depleted pedologic carbon reservoir, focussing on soil organic carbon.The third chapter provides an overview of the available systems for the monitoring, reporting and verification of soil organic carbon, focussing on both their advantages and limitations.The fourth chapter discusses the challenges for large-scale application of spectral mapping when the soil and parent material are heterogeneous and surface conditions are unknown.The final chapter evaluates the potential for carbon sequestration in temperate agroforestry systems by analysing existing data from different agroforestry practices in temperate regions worldwide.

Hardback. Condition: New. Fine Sediment in Open Water is mainly written for professional engineers working in estuaries and coastal systems. It provides the basis for a fundamental understanding of the physical, biological and chemical processes governing the transport and fate of fine sediment in open water and explains how this understanding can steer engineering studies with numerical models. This is a unique treatment of processes at a variety of spatial and temporal scales, from the micro-scale (colloid scale) to system-wide scales, and from intra-tidal time periods to decades.Beginning with the processes governing the transport and fate of fine sediment in shallow open water, the first eight chapters are dedicated to the hydrodynamic, soil mechanics and biological processes which determine fine sediment concentrations in the water column, in/on the bed and the exchange of sediment between bed and water column. The next two chapters treat the net fluxes of fine sediment as a function of asymmetries in forcing and sediment properties. These fundamental processes form the basis for the subsequent chapters on modeling in which the governing equations are presented, and tools are provided to aggregate and parameterize the various processes elaborated in the first eight chapters. Further, any numerical model study should be based on a conceptual model, as illustrated in the final five chapters, which provide examples of numerical modeling studies on the transport and fate of fine sediment in a coastal sea, an estuary, a tidal river, a lake, and around and within a harbor basin.Related Link(s).
