Description and Table of Contents
Description
The first systematic examination of the role of geomorphological processes in the cycling of carbon through the terrestrial system.
Argues that knowledge of geomorphological processes is fundamental to understanding the ways in which carbon is stored and recycled in the terrestrial environment
Integrates classical geomorphological theory with understanding of microbial processes controlling the decomposition of organic matter
Develops an interdisciplinary research agenda for the analysis of the terrestrial carbon cycle
Informed by work in ecology, microbiology and biogeochemistry, in order to analyse spatial and temporal patterns of terrestrial carbon cycling at the landscape scale
Considers the ways in which, as Humanity enters the Anthropocene, the application of this science has the potential to manage the terrestrial carbon cycle to limit increases in atmospheric carbon
