Synopsis :
Agroforestry for Carbon and Ecosystem Management is a comprehensive overview of current research, issues, challenges, and case studies in the area of agroforestry. The book focuses specifically on carbon source-sink relationship and management through agroforestry practices with a goal of improving overall environmental sustainability. Through expert insights and case studies, the book promotes carbon management, greenhouse gas emission reduction, forest, and ecosystem services management, along with relevant sustainable approaches for natural resources conservation. Users will find insights into novel approaches for natural resource management, with specific attention given to technologies related to carbon capture and management.
