Descripción
Grasslands are important worldwide and play a unique role as they link agriculture and environment and offer tangible solutions ranging from their contribution to mitigation of and adaptation to climate change, to improvement of land and ecosystem health and resilience, biological diversity and water cycles while serving as a basis for agricultural productivity and economic growth. This book profiles 13 contributions by some of the world’s most active scientists on the subjects of measuring soil carbon in grassland systems and sustainable grassland management practices. While many different aspects of carbon sequestration in grasslands are covered, many gaps in our knowledge are also revealed, and it is hoped that this book will promote discussion, prompt further research, contribute to develop global and national grassland strategies and contribute to sustainable production intensification.
