Global Climate Change and Cold Regions Ecosystems

Global Climate Change Cold Regions Ecosystems covers: soil C pools in different ecoregions, the impact of natural and anthropogenic disturbances on soil C pool, the method of assessment of C, other properties of soils of the cold ecoregions, the fate of C in soils of the cold ecoregions, and research and development priorities. The author presents information on the current understanding of soil processes and the carbon cycle in cold ecoregions. He provides an evaluation of the impact of anthropogenic activities and potential global environmental changes.
