Increased throughput of carbon-based fossil energy, the destruction
of Earth's forests, and other land use changes have resulted in
ever higher levels of waste in the form of greenhouse gases-as well
as a diminished capacity of the planet to absorb and store those
wastes. This means that to avoid catastrophic global warming and
maintain the habitability of Earth by protecting essential soil and
water resources, we will need to not only reduce emissions, but
also increase carbon storage in the land system. Biosequestration
and Ecological Diversity: Mitigating and Adapting to Climate Change
and Environmental Degradation discusses ways to remove greenhouse
gases from the atmosphere and build soil by changing the way people
use and manage land. Principles and Practices for Better Land
Management Examining biosequestration in social, economic, and
political context, the book reviews recent scientific evidence on
climate change and global ecological degradation and explains how
the carbon cycle has been transformed by destructive land use
practices, such as deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels.
It describes the principles of biosequestration and restorative
land management practices and discusses the potential of carbon
storage. The author offers specific examples of inexpensive, proven
practices that build soil, protect scarce water resources, and
enhance ecological diversity. He also identifies conservation
policies that provide technical assistance and financial resources
for ecological protection and restoration. How You Can Help
Mitigate Climate Change with a Little Piece of Land Restorative

any comprehensive strategy for mitigating and adapting to climate
change and global environmental degradation. This book explains how
