Annotation: The Potential of U.S. Grazing Lands to Sequester Carbon and Mitigate the Greenhouse Effect describes grazing lands, the areas they occupy, and their role in improving the environment. The book gives professionals and students insight into the two crucial issues: shaping policy and targeting research. The reader gets visual and graphic descriptions from the 98 figures included as well as east access to data from the 55 tables. It explores the extent grazing lands should be considered as potential carbon sinks, compares practices that result in soil carbon sequestration, and summarizes approaches for policy makers and research agencies.

Publisher Description:
Grazing lands represent the largest and most diverse land resource-taking up over half the earth's land surface. The large area grazing land occupies, its diversity of climates and soils, and the potential to improve its use and productivity all contribute to its importance for sequestering C and mitigating the greenhouse effect and other conditions brought about by climate change. The Potential of U.S. Grazing Lands to Sequester Carbon and Mitigate the Greenhouse Effect gives you an in-depth look at this possibility.
