This collection reviews the wealth of recent research on important aspects of soil carbon sequestration in different environments and soil types and its contribution to ensuring a positive carbon budget at the farm and landscape level.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Dr Cornelia Rumpel is Director of Research in the Institute of Ecology and Environmental Sciences at the French National Research Center (CNRS) located at Sorbonne University, where she leads a team investigating the fate of organic matter in natural and managed terrestrial ecosystems, including the mechanisms determining soil organic carbon sequestration. Her work deals with temperate and tropical environments and has contributed to the change of several paradigms in this important area. She is also working with industry and at the science policy interphase providing expertise in the areas of land management and climate change.

Dr Matthias Kuhnert is an Advanced Research Fellow in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Aberdeen, UK. He is a leading expert in environmental modelling, particularly measuring, reporting and verification (MRV) systems for tracking changes in soil organic carbon in agricultural production. He has published widely in this area and ways of measuring and modelling greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from farming. Dr Kuhnert was previously a Research Fellow at the Technical University of Dresden, Germany. He is participating in a range of research projects such as the EU-funded CIRCASA Project.

Dr Sylvia Vetter is an Advanced Research Fellow in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Aberdeen, UK and is a member of the School’s Environmental Modelling Group. She is noted for her research focusing on modelling GHG emissions from agriculture and the potential effectiveness of different mitigation options. Dr Vetter was involved in developing the Cool Farm Tool, one of the leading carbon calculation tools used by UK farmers in particular. She was previously Chair of Meteorology at the Technical University of Dresden, Germany.

Dr. Alan Franzluebbers is a Research Ecologist with the USDA-Agricultural Research Service on the campus of North Carolina State University in Raleigh NC. He has more than 30 years of research experience starting with a master’s program in Nebraska, PhD in Texas, post-doctoral position in Alberta Canada, and as a full-time soil scientist in Georgia and now in North Carolina. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for the American Forage and Grassland Council and served in the past on the Board of Directors for the Soil Science Society of America. He is a Fellow of the American Society of Agronomy and the Soil Science Society of America.

Lydie-Stella Koutika is a soil scientist working at Research Centre on Productivity and Sustainability of Industrial Plantations (CRDPI) at Pointe-Noire, Republic of the Congo. She is a member of Scientific and Technical Committee (STC) of the ‘4 per 1000’ “Soils for food security and climate Initiative” since 2016. She is a laureate of ‘African Union Kwame Nkrumah Regional Scientific Award for Women’ (2014) and The World Academy of Science (TWAS) -Al-Kharafi Prize (2018). She has published >45 peer-reviewed journal papers and some book chapters.
