Climate is a soil-forming factor and soil can mitigate climate
change through a reduction in the emissions of greenhouse gases and
sequestration of atmospheric CO2. Thus, there is a growing interest
in soil management practices capable of mitigating climate change
and enhancing environmental quality. Soil and Climate addresses
global issues through soil management and outlines strategies for
advancing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This volume in the
Advances in Soil Science series is specifically devoted to describe
state-of-the-knowledge regarding the climate-soil nexus in relation
to: Soil Processes: weathering, decomposition of organic matter,
erosion, leaching, salinization, biochemical, transformations,
gaseous flux, and elemental cycling, Soil Properties: physical,
chemical, biological, and ecological, Atmospheric Chemistry:
gaseous concentrations of (CO2, CH4, N2O), water vapors, soot,
dust, and particulate matter, Mitigation and Adaptation: source and
sink of GHGs (CO2, CH4, N2O), land use and soil management, soil C
sink capacity, permafrost, Soil Management: sequestration of
organic and inorganic C, nutrient requirements, water demands,
coupled cycling of H2O, N, P, S, and Policy and Outreach: carbon
farming, payments for ecosystem services, COP21, SDGs, land
degradation neutrality Special topics on soil as a source or sink
of CO2, silicate weathering and carbon sequestration, nutrients
required for carbon sequestration, physical protection and the mean
resident time, and predicting soil carbon stocks are discussed in
detail throughout the book.
