About the Book

Few topics cut across the soil science discipline wider than research on soil carbon. This book contains 48 chapters that focus on novel and exciting aspects of soil carbon research from all over the world. It includes review papers by global leaders in soil carbon research, and the book ends with a list and discussion of global soil carbon research priorities. Chapters are loosely grouped in four sections: § Soil carbon in space and time § Soil carbon properties and processes § Soil use and carbon management § Soil carbon and the environment A wide variety of topics is included: soil carbon modelling, measurement, monitoring, microbial dynamics, soil carbon management and 12 chapters focus on national or regional soil carbon stock assessments. The book provides up-to-date information for researchers interested in soil carbon in relation to climate change and to researchers that are interested in soil carbon for the maintenance of soil quality and fertility. Papers in this book were presented at the IUSS Global Soil C Conference that was held at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA.

About the Author :
Alfred Hartemink is Professor of Soil Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Secretary General - International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS). Kevin McSweeney is Professor of Pedology (Soil genesis, classification, mapping and land use, application to sustainable land management) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Review :
From the book reviews: "It aims to present 'the wide array of research that has been conducted on soil carbon in all parts of the world, and at all scales'. ... This book is comprehensive and is relevant to researchers in different subject areas who wish to investigate the impact of soil carbon changes ... ." (M. Dondini, European Journal of Soil Science, December, 2014)
