Biosequestration and Ecological Diversity (eBook, PDF)

Mitigating and Adapting to Climate Change and Environmental Degradation

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Written for land owners and managers as well as students and researchers, this book discusses ways to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and build soil by changing the way people use and manage land. The author examines the scientific evidence for biosequestration, land practices that sequester carbon, and policies that encourage such practices. He also includes examples of inexpensive, proven actions that anyone can take to build soil, protect scarce water resources, and support biological diversity-all of which help protect and enhance biosequestration.
