Wetland Carbon and Environmental Management
About this book
Explores how the management of wetlands can influence carbon storage and fluxes.
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.
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.
Volume highlights include:
- Overview of carbon storage in the landscape
- Introduction to wetland management practices
- Comparisons of natural, managed, and converted wetlands
- Impact of wetland management on carbon storage or loss
- Techniques for scientific assessment of wetland carbon processes
- Case studies covering tropical, coastal, inland, and northern wetlands
- Primer for carbon offset trading programs and how wetlands might contribute
