Description:
This book, which contains 17 chapters, presents an expert synthesis of greenhouse gas (GHG) sink science and how this applies to the past, current and future changes in climate. It also explores how the sinks may respond to increased GHG emissions and global temperatures, and whether they can be protected and even enhanced to help mitigate climatic change. The sinks discussed in this book are the planet's storage areas, where GHGs are locked away from the atmosphere and thus prevented from contributing to global warming. This book is a valuable resource for students, researchers and practitioners in conservation, ecology and environmental studies.
