Explores how the management of wetlands can influence carbon
storage and fluxes. Wetlands are vital natural assets, including
their ability to take-up atmospheric carbon and restrict subsequent
carbon loss to facilitate long-term storage. They can be
deliberately managed to provide a natural solution to mitigate
climate change, as well as to help offset direct losses of wetlands
from various land-use changes and natural drivers. Wetland Carbon
and Environmental Management presents a collection of wetland
research studies from around the world to demonstrate how
environmental management can improve carbon sequestration while
enhancing wetland health and function. Volume highlights include:
Overview of carbon storage in the landscape Introduction to wetland
management practices Comparisons of natural, managed, and converted
wetlands Impact of wetland management on carbon storage or loss
Techniques for scientific assessment of wetland carbon processes
Case studies covering tropical, coastal, inland, and northern
wetlands Primer for carbon offset trading programs and how wetlands
might contribute The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery
in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity.Its
publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources
for researchers, students, and professionals.
