This book is a guide to the scientificand policy debate concerning the roles of agriculture, forestry andother activities leading to global warming. The influence of landuse on the greehouse effect is important, not only in terms of netemissions of greenhouse gases, but also in the potential to reduceemissions through changing land use policies.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Land Use and the Causes of Global Warming reviews the globalemissions of greenhouse gases from land use sources, highlightingthe undertainties in estimating both the magnitude of the fluxesand the scale of land use change. Policies of afforestation,policies to encourage the halting of deforestation and changingmanagement pravctices in agriculture are all examined from theperspectives of feasibility, cost and equity. The authorsillustrate how all land use policies are multi-objective but thatthe reduction of grenhouse gas emissions must be a key element inforestry and agriculture policy on a global bais. This is aninvaluable book for all thoe in the climate change researchcommunity, environmental scientits, economists and social scientitsin research institutions.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eLand Use and Global Environmental Change: A Social SciencePerspective.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e THE LAND USE CAUSES OF GLOBAL WARMING.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Assessing Greenhouse Gas Fluxes from the Terrestrial Biota.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Role of Tropical Forests in the Carbon Cycle.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Soils, Bogs and Wetlands: Greenhouse Gas Fluxes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e POLICY ANALYSIS.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e An Investigation of the Causes of Tropical Deforestation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Agricultural Policy to Reduce Methane Emissions.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Forestry Options for Offsetting Emissions.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The International Policy Dimension.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Land Use Options for Greenhouse Gas Abatement: Prospects andConstraints.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e References.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Earth sciences [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Earth sciences\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Earth%20sciences%20%5BRB%5D%22\"\u003eRB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52298075341080,"sku":"9780471948858","price":318.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471948858.jpg?v=1781734751","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/land-use-and-the-causes-of-global-warming-hardback-9780471948858","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
