Abstract:
Global Change and Forest Soils:
Cultivating Stewardship of a Finite Natural Resource, provides a
state-of-the-science summary and synthesis of global forest soils that
identifies concerns, issues and opportunities for soil adaptation and mitigation
as external pressures from global changes arise. Where, how and why some soils
are resilient to global change while others are at risk is explored, as are
upcoming train wrecks and success stories across boreal, temperate, and
tropical forests. Each chapter offers multiple sections written by leading soil
scientists who comment on wildfires, climate change and forest harvesting
effects, while also introducing examples of current global issues.
