Global Biogeochemical Cycles in the Climate System

Hardback  416 pages  ISBN 0126312605      £81.00

The interaction of biogeochemical cycles influence and maintain our climate system. Land use and fossil fuel emissions are presently impacting the biogeochemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen and sulphur on land, in the atmosphere, and in the oceans. This edited volume brings together 34 scholarly contributions on the state of our knowledge of earth system interactions among the oceans, land and atmosphere. A unique feature of this treatment is the focus on the paleoclimatic and paleobiotic context for investigating these complex relationships. The book focuses on understanding earth system interactions and opens up the possibilities of future global management/engineering activities.
