In addition to depleting nutrients necessary for healthy crops,
soil erosion processes can affect the carbon balance of
agroecosystems, and thus influence global warming.. While the
magnitude and severity of soil erosion are well documented, fluxes
of eroded carbon are rarely quantified. The most complete,
nonpartisan source of information available today on this topic,
Soil Erosion and Carbon Dynamics brings together a diverse group of
papers and data from the perspectives of world-renowned
sedimentologists, soil scientists, and agronomists to resolve
whether soil erosion on carbon is a beneficial or destructive
process. This book collects quantitative data on eroded carbon
fluxes from the scale of the agricultural plot to that of large
basins and oceans. It quantifies the magnitude of eroded carbon for
different soil management practices as compared to normal carbon
sequestration and discusses the fate of the eroded carbon and
whether or not it is a source or sink for atmospheric CO2. Finally,
the book offers data reflecting the impact of soil erosion on soil,
water, and air quality. Other important topics include
solubilization, the determination of mineralization rates, carbon
transfer, and sediment deposition, as well as carbon dioxide
emissions, global warming potential, and the implications of soil
erosion on the global carbon cycle and carbon budget. Based on the
first symposium of the international colloquium Land Uses, Erosion
and Carbon Sequestration held in Montpellier, France, Soil Erosion
and Carbon Dynamics provides data that links soil erosion to the
global carbon cycle and elucidates the fate of eroded carbon at
scales ranging from plot to watershed.
