As atmospheric CO2 increases there will almost certainly be alterations in soil carbon fluxes. It is likely that such alterations will be accompanied by changes in the partitioning of carbon between organic structures and to soil processes. These changes have the potent... Lees meer.

The Chinese constitute the third major community in the world to have lived continuously below ground for many millennia. With case studies representing different geographical and cultural environments this work shows how Chinese below-ground dwellings provide a comfor... Lees meer.

Drawing on a diverse pool of global expertise the authors present diverse approaches that span a range of scales and levels of complexity. The respective chapters provide in-depth information on the current state of research and outline future prospects in the field o... Lees meer.

Forest soils form the foundation that underpins the existence of all forests. This book encapsulates soil ecology and functioning in northern forests focusing on the effects of human activity and climate change. The authors introduce the fundamental principles necessar... Lees meer.

Through theoretical synthesis this work shows that the key biotic drivers of community and ecosystem properties involve linkages between aboveground and belowground food webs biotic interaction the spatial and temporal dynamics of component organisms and the ecophy... Lees meer.
