MULTI-SCALE BIOGEOCHEMICAL PROCESSES IN SOIL ECOSYSTEMSProvides a state-of-the-art overview of research in soil biogeochemical processes and strategies for greenhouse gas mitigation under climate changeFood security and soil health for the rapidly growing human population are threatened by increased temperature and drought, soil erosion and soil quality degradation, and other problems caused by human activities and a changing climate. Because greenhouse gas emission is the primary driver of climate change, a complete understanding of the cycles of carbon and major nutritional elements is critical for developing innovative strategies to sustain agricultural development and environmental conservation.Multi-Scale Biogeochemical Processes in Soil Ecosystems: Critical Reactions and Resilience to Climate Changes is an up-to-date overview of recent research in soil biogeochemical processes and applications in ecosystem management. Organized into three parts, the text examines molecular-scale processes and critical reactions, presents ecosystem-scale studies of ecological hotspots, and discusses large-scale modeling and prediction of global biogeochemical cycles. Part of the Wiley - IUPAC Series on Biophysico-Chemical Processes in Environmental Systems, this authoritative volume:* Provides readers with a systematic and interdisciplinary approach to sustainable agricultural development and management of soil ecosystems in a changing climate* Features contributions from an international team of leading scientists* Examines topics such as soil organic matter stabilization, soil biogeochemistry modeling, and soil responses to environmental changes* Discusses strategies for mitigating greenhouse gas emission and improving soil health and ecosystems resilience* Includes an introduction to working across scales to project soil biogeochemical responses to climatic changeMulti-Scale Biogeochemical Processes in Soil Ecosystems: Critical Reactions and Resilience to Climate Changes is essential reading for scientists, engineers, agronomists, chemists, biologists, academic researchers, consultants, and other professionals whose work involves the nutrient cycle, ecosystem management, and climate change.

Nonliving Organic Matter (NOM) exerts a profound influence on various processes in the environment, and is one of the most important factors when analyzing ecosystems globally.

Written by a multidisciplinary group of soil and environmental scientists, Biophysico-Chemical Processes of Heavy Metals and Metalloids in Soil Environments provides the scientific community with a critical qualitative and quantitative review of the fundamentals of the processes of pollutants in soil environments.
