<p><b>Explores how the management of wetlands can influence carbon storage and fluxes</b></p> <p>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.</p> <p><i>Wetland Carbon and Environmental Management</i> 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.</p> <p>Volume highlights include:</p> <ul> <li>Overview of carbon storage in the landscape</li> <li>Introduction to wetland management practices</li> <li>Comparisons of natural, managed, and converted wetlands</li> <li>Impact of wetland management on carbon storage or loss</li> <li>Techniques for scientific assessment of wetland carbon processes</li> <li>Case studies covering tropical, coastal, inland, and northern wetlands</li> <li>Primer for carbon offset trading programs and how wetlands might contribute</li> </ul> <p>The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.</p>
