Contenidos:
Contenido: 6 Livestock Production Styles and Managing Grassland EcosystemsPart II: Grasslands as Regulating Biogeochemical Cycles and Environmental Fluxes to Hydrosphere and Atmosphere; 7 Carbon Storage and Organic Matter Dynamics in Grassland Soils; 8 Managing C and N in Grassland Systems: the Adaptive Cycle Theory Perspective; 9 Managing Mineral N Leaching in Grassland Systems
Resumen: Grassland ecosystems are deeply affected by human activities and need appropriate management to optimise trade-offs between ecosystem functions and services. Until now they have mainly been analysed as agro-ecosystems for animal production but this book looks beyond the role of grassland as a feeding ground, and evaluates other important processes such as carbon sequestration in soils, greenhouse gas regulation and biodiversity protection. This authoritative volume expertly highlights the need for an immediate balance between agriculture and ecological management for sustainability in the future. It is suitable for researchers and students in ecology and agriculture.
