CARBON SEQUESTRATION IN AGRICULTURAL ECOSYSTEMS...

A comprehensive book on basic processes of soil C dynamics and the underlying factors and
causes which determine the technical and economic potential of soil C sequestration. The book
provides information on the dynamics of both inorganic (lithogenic and pedogenic carbonates)
and organic C (labile  intermediate and passive). It describes different types of
agroecosystems  and lists questions at the end of each chapter to stimulate thinking and
promote academic dialogue. Each chapter has a bibliography containing up-to-date references on
the current research  and provides the state-of-the-knowledge while also identifying the
knowledge gaps for future research. The critical need for restoring C stocks in world soils is
discussed in terms of provisioning of essential ecosystem services (food security  carbon
sequestration  water quality and renewability  and biodiversity). It is of interest to students
scientists  and policy makers.
