Climate Change Impacts on Soil Processes and Ecosystem Properties

Climate Change Impacts on Soil Processes and Ecosystem Properties presents current and emerging soil science research around the areas of soil processes and climate change, also evaluating future research needs. The book combines the five areas of soil science (microbiology, physics, fertility, pedology, and chemistry to give a comprehensive assessment. This integration of topics is rarely done in a single publication due to the disciplinary nature of the soil science areas, so users will find this book to be a comprehensive resource on the topic. Provide an analysis of all areas of soil science in the context of climate change impact on soil processes and ecosystem propertiesPresents information that is displayed in an accessible form for practitioners and disciplines outside of soil scienceContains a concluding section in each chapter which assesses key areasIncludes a discussion on future research and direction INDICE: Global change: definitions, consequences and the futureSoils and ancient civilizationsUnderstanding ecosystem transformations through soil processesRole of soil carbon in stabilizing the global carbon cycleRole of mineralogy and climate in the soil carbon cycleSoil microbial diversity and function in a changing worldClimate induced change of microbial communities in extreme environmentsNitrous oxide production from soils in the futureMethane production and consumption from soils and sediments under climate changeFuture agricultural productivity in climate change impacted soilsClimate change impacts on subboreal soilsSustainability of climate change impacted tropical soilsClimate change impacts on Mollisols Breadbasket soilsArid soils in an uncertain climate futureSoil restoration considerations as climate changesRemote sensing as a tool to assess climate impacted soilsSoil research needs in the Anthrpocene epoch
