dc.descriptionThis is Chapter 2, "The role of soils in ecosystem processes," of the report <a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-i5199e.pdf"><i>Status of the World’s Soil Resources." </i></a> <p>Soils play a critical role in delivering ecosystem services. In this chapter, we present current knowledge – and knowledge gaps – on the role of soils in the carbon, nitrogen and water cycles, and on their role as a habitat for organisms and as a genetic pool.</p><p>The full report has been divided into sections and indivi dual chapters for ease of downloading:</p> <ul><li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc589e.pdf">Introductory information</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc590e.pdf">Chapter 1: Introduction</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc591e.pdf">Chapter 2: The role of soils in ecosystem processes </a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc592e.pdf">Chapter 3: Global Soil Resources</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc593e.pdf">Chapter 4: Soils and Humans</a></li> <li>< a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc594e.pdf">Chapter 5: Drivers of global soil change</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc595e.pdf">Chapter 6: Global soil status, processes and trends</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc596e.pdf">Chapter 7: Soil change: impacts and responses</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc597e.pdf">Chapter 8: Governance and policy responses to soil change</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc598e.pdf">Chapter 9: Regional Assessment o f Soil Changes in Africa South of the Sahara</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc599e.pdf">Chapter 10: Regional Assessment of Soil Change in Asia</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc600e.pdf">Chapter 11: Regional Assessment of Soil Changes in Europe and Eurasia</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc601e.pdf">Chapter 12: Regional Assessment of Soil Changes in Latin America and the Caribbean</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc602e.pdf">Chapter 13: Regiona l Assessment of Soil Changes in the Near East and North Africa</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc603e.pdf">Chapter 14: Regional Assessment of Soil Changes in North America</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc604e.pdf">Chapter 15: Regional Assessment of Soil Change in the Southwest Pacific</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc605e.pdf">Chapter 16: Regional Assessment of Soil Change in Antarctica</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc606e.pdf">Annex: Soil groups, characteristics, distribution and ecosystem services</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc607e.pdf">Glossary of Technical Terms</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bc608e.pdf">Authors and affiliations</a></li></ul> <p> Also available: <a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-i5126e.pdf"><i>Technical Summary of the Status of the World’s Soil Resources.</i></a></p>
