Managing Agricultural Greenhouse Gases
Description:
Global climate change is a natural process that currently appears to be strongly influenced by human
activities, which increase atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHG). Agriculture contributes
about 20% of the world's global radiation forcing from carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, and
produces 50% of the methane and 70% of the nitrous oxide of the human-induced emission. Managing
Agricultural Greenhouse Gases synthesizes the wealth of information generated from the GRACEnet
(Greenhouse gas Reduction through Agricultural Carbon Enhancement network) effort with contributors
from a variety of backgrounds, and reports findings with important international applications.
- Frames responses to challenges associated with climate change within the geographical domain of the
U.S., while providing a useful model for researchers in the many parts of the world that possess similar
ecoregions
- Covers not only soil C dynamics but also nitrous oxide and methane flux, filling a void in the existing
literature
- Educates scientists and technical service providers conducting greenhouse gas research, industry, and
regulators in their agricultural research by addressing the issues of GHG emissions and ways to reduce
these emissions
- Synthesizes the data from top experts in the world into clear recommendations and expectations for
improvements in the agricultural management of global warming potential as an aggregate of GHG
emissions
