As governments and institutions work to ameliorate the effects of anthropogenic CO2 emissions on global climate, there is an increasing need to understand how land-use and land-cover change is coupled to the carbon cycle, and how land management can be used to mitigate their effects. This book brings an interdisciplinary team of fifty-eight international researchers to share their novel approaches, concepts, theories and knowledge on land use and the carbon cycle. It discusses contemporary theories and approaches combined with state-of-the-art technologies. The central theme is that land use and land management are tightly integrated with the carbon cycle and it ... Read more

His work, published in over 100 peer-reviewed publications, aims to understand human-environment interactions through a focus on land-use and land-cover changes, modelling these changes, and spatial analysis and remote sensing methods for characterizing landscape patterns. He has chaired the Land Use ... Read more
Reviews for Land Use and the Carbon Cycle: Advances in Integrated Science, Management, and Policy
'One striking feature of this timely book is that all 22 chapters are synthetic and backed by solid empirical evidence and/or conceptual illustrations and statements. It is the most recent update on carbon cycle science … Highly recommended.' J. Chen, Choice
