Global watming through the enhanced greehouse effect is one of the
major and most uncertain forces of global environmental change
presently facing the earth. This book is a guide to the scientific
and policy debate concerning the roles of agriculture, forestry and
other activities leading to global warming. The influence of land
use on the greehouse effect is important, not only in terms of net
emissions of greenhouse gases, but also in the potential to reduce
emissions through changing land use policies.
"Land Use and the Causes of Global Warming" reviews the global
emissions of greenhouse gases from land use sources, highlighting
the undertainties in estimating both the magnitude of the fluxes
and the scale of land use change. Policies of afforestation,
policies to encourage the halting of deforestation and changing
management pravctices in agriculture are all examined from the
perspectives of feasibility, cost and equity. The authors
illustrate how all land use policies are multi-objective but that
the reduction of grenhouse gas emissions must be a key element in
forestry and agriculture policy on a global bais. This is an
invaluable book for all thoe in the climate change research
community, environmental scientits, economists and social scientits
in research institutions.
