Soil and Greenhouse Effect: Monitoring and Mitigation Global warming, caused by
the increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, has
emerged as the most prominent global environment issue. Agricultural soils
contribute substantially to the greenhouse effect primarily through the emission
and consumption of greenhouse gases. For the last two decades the research
efforts have been intensified on the quantitative measurement of emission of
greenhouse gases from soil. As a result, very useful information has been
generated which has enriched our understanding on emission of these gases from
soil under various land- use types. This is the first book to examine
comprehensively the processes and factors
