Global Climate Change and Cold Regions Ecosystems provides
information on soil processes and the carbon cycle in cold
ecoregions as well as the soil carbon pool and its fluxes in the
soils of cold ecoregions. Filling a void in this area of soil
science, this resource explains soil processes influencing C
dynamics under natural and disturbed ecosystems. The soils of the
cold region ecosystems serve as a net sink of atmospheric C.
However, an increase in global temperature could render them a net
source. In the event of global warming, the cold regions
ecosystems-arctic, sub-arctic, alpine, Antarctic, boreal forests,
and peatlands-will undergo radical changes. Potential environmental
change could drastically increase the active soil layer and
influence the large C pool found in them. Topics include: soil C
pools in different cold ecoregions, the impact of natural and
anthropogenic disturbances on the soil C pool, the method of
assessment of C and other properties of soils of the cold regions
ecosytems while focusing on the fate of C in permafrost soils.
Global Climate Change and Cold Regions Ecosystems covers the
current and possible future effects of the cold ecoregions soil C
pool on the global carbon pool.
