Carbon Sequestration in Soils: Science, Monitoring, and Beyond : Proceedings of the St. Michaels Workshop, December 1998 - Tapa blanda

Addresses four issues related to potential programs to capturing excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere with photosynthesis and storing it in the soil in order to stave off global warming. Looks at new directions and methods of research that may open up, monitoring and verifying programs, the linkage between soil carbon sequestration and desertification, and policy and implementation issues.
