Wetland Carbon and Environmental Management

<b>Wetland Carbon and Environmental Management</b> <p>Wetlands are vital natural assets, including their ability to take-up atmospheric carbon and restrict subsequent carbon loss to facilitate long-term storage. They can be deliberately managed to provide a natural solution to mitigate climate change, as well as to help offset direct losses of wetlands from various land-use changes and natural drivers. <p>Wetland Carbon and Environmental Management presents a collection of wetland research studies from around the world to demonstrate how environmental management can improve carbon sequestration while enhancing wetland health and function. <p><b>Volume highlights include:</b> <ul><li> Overview of carbon storage in the landscape</li> <li> Introduction to wetland management practices</li> <li>Comparisons of natural, managed, and converted wetlands</li> <li> Impact of wetland management on carbon storage or loss</li> <li>Techniques for scientific assessment of wetland carbon processes</li> <li> Case studies covering tropical, coastal, inland, and northern wetlands</li> <li> Primer for carbon offset trading programs and how wetlands might contribute</li></ul> <p><i>The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity.Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.</i>
