Carbon Climate
Global Biogeochemical Cycles in the Climate System
The interactions of biogeochemical cycles influence and maintain our climate system. Land use and fossil fuel emissions are currently impacting the biogeochemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur on land, in the atmosphere, and in the oceans.
Vegetation and the Terrestrial Carbon Cycle
Using knowledge of present day vegetation processes and models of global climate, the authors simulate and analyse changes in the earth's vegetation and in the capacity of the Earth's carbon cycle over the past 400 million years.
Agriculture Practices and Policies for Carbon Sequestration in Soil
The potential to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and global climate change is one factor driving agricultural policy development of programs that might pay farmers for practices with a high potential to sequester carbon.
Climate Change and Global Food Security
Emissions of carbon from fossil fuel combustion, along with a change in land use, has led to the depletion of the soil's organic carbon pool.
Allocation in the European Emissions Trading Scheme
A critical issue in dealing with climate change is deciding who has a right to emit carbon dioxide.
The Potential of U.S. Grazing Lands to Sequester Carbon and Mitigate the Greenhouse Effect
Grazing lands represent the largest and most diverse land resource-taking up over half the earth's land surface.
