Summary

• "Global Climate Change and Pedogenic Carbonates summarizes what we know about soil inorganic carbon and develops strategies that could lead to the retention of more carbon in the soil. It covers basic concepts, analytical methods, secondary carbonates, and research and development priorities.
• With this book, you will get a better understanding of the soil inorganic carbon (SIC) pool, organic and inorganic carbon interactions in soil, and their role in the global carbon cycle and what we know about it in terms of the accelerated greenhouse effect."--BOOK JACKET.
