Soils comprise the largest pool of terrestrial carbon and therefore
are an important component of carbon storage in the
biosphere-atmosphere system. Structure and Organic Matter Storage
in Agricultural Soils explores the mechanisms and processes
involved in the storage and sequestration of carbon in soils.
Focusing on agricultural soils - from tropical to semi-arid types -
this new book provides an in-depth look at structure, aggregation,
and organic matter retention in world soils. The first two sections
of the book introduce readers to the basic issues and scientific
concepts, including soil structure, underlying mechanisms and
processes, and the importance of agroecosystems as carbon
regulators. The third section provides detailed discussions of soil
aggregation and organic matter storage under various climates, soil
types, and soil management practices. The fourth section addresses
current strategies for enhancing organic matter storage in soil,
modelling techniques, and measurement methods. Throughout the book,
the importance of the soil structure-organic matter storage
relationship is emphasized. Anyone involved in soil science,
agriculture, agronomy, plant science, or greenhouse gas and global
change studies should understand this relationship. Structure and
Organic Matter Storage in Agricultural Soils provides an ideal
source of information not only on the soil structure-storage
relationship itself, but also on key research efforts and direct
applications related to the storage of organic matter in
agricultural soils.
