Rubber Plantations and Carbon Management (Paperback): Arun Jyoti Nath, Biplab Brahma, Ashesh Kumar Das Rubber Plantations and Carbon Management (Paperback)
Arun Jyoti Nath, Biplab Brahma, Ashesh Kumar Das
R2,547 Discovery Miles 25 470 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

With the increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and the resulting environmental consequences for plants, it is necessary to consider the future of rubber plantations, an important source of latex for rubber production. In this volume, the authors explore the ecology of rubber plantations in the context of carbon management under a scenario of our changing climate. The authors provide an in-depth study of the carbon stock and sequestration potentiality of rubber plantations. The volume also provides information on a biomass estimating model that can be used in the future study of non-harvesting biomass estimation for a variety of plants. Key features: * Provides an understanding of the role of rubber plantations in carbon management * Presents biomass models and biomass carbon stocks * Explores the impact of land use changes on soil organic carbon * Looks at ecosystem carbon sequestration * Explores methods of allometric model development for different growth ages of rubber plantations * Advances our knowledge of the global carbon cycle that will be helpful in studying changing environmental effects on other crops and plant products.

Bamboo - Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation (Paperback): Arun Jyoti Nath, Gudeta W. Sileshi, Ashesh Kumar Das Bamboo - Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation (Paperback)
Arun Jyoti Nath, Gudeta W. Sileshi, Ashesh Kumar Das
R2,541 Discovery Miles 25 410 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This new book presents an abundance of important information and case studies that deal with bamboo farming and its effects from and on climate change adaptation and mitigation. There is a lack of research on the role of bamboo in climate change adaptation and mitigation; this volume helps to fill that gap by providing information that will enable policymakers to consider bamboo farming and its implications in carbon trading. Bamboo represents one of the world's highest yielding renewable natural resources and is an important source of non-timber forest products for subsistence use as well as for materials with many commercial and industrial uses. There are over 1500 documented applications of bamboo products, including materials for bridges, construction, furniture, agricultural tools, handicrafts, papers, textiles, boards, edible, and bioenergy applications. With their fast growth rate and rapid propagation, bamboo forests have a high C storage potential, especially when the harvested culms are transformed into durable products and thereby prolonging the C storage. Environmentalists love bamboo for its quick growth and for the fact that it can be harvested without harming the environment. This volume is a rich resource on the role of bamboo in ecological farming and climate change mitigation. Key features of the book include: * Explores the role of bamboo on climate change and environment and ecosystem-based adaptation to climate change * Considers overlooked bamboo biomass resources * Explains carbon capture and storage potential in bamboo * Assesses opportunities for carbon farming and carbon trading in bamboo * Looks at the role on bamboo cultivation on the livelihood of rural populations * Details the soil properties needed for bamboo-based agroforestry systems

Soil Carbon Dynamics in Indian Himalayan Region (1st ed. 2023): Gaurav Mishra, Krishna Giri, Arun Jyoti Nath, Rosa Francaviglia Soil Carbon Dynamics in Indian Himalayan Region (1st ed. 2023)
Gaurav Mishra, Krishna Giri, Arun Jyoti Nath, Rosa Francaviglia
R5,763 Discovery Miles 57 630 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The contributed volume assimilates the knowledge, experience, and exciting aspects of soil carbon research in the Indian Himalayan region. It includes different aspects and factors associated with soil carbon sequestration in the region, one of the biodiversity hot spots and highly vulnerable to climatic change impacts. Information on different aspects of soil organic carbon dynamics concerning adaptive land management practices and anthropogenic impacts is covered. Further topics include applying advanced tools and techniques to soil carbon vis-a-vis soil erosion research. This book is of interest to researchers and policymakers involved in soil carbon research and offer ideas to enhance the soil carbon in the region concerned. In addition, the book will provide up-to-date information for researchers interested in soil carbon research for the maintenance of soil quality and fertility in the climate-vulnerable Indian Himalayan region.
