Carbon stored in soils represents the largest terrestrial carbon pool and factors affecting this will be vital in the understanding of future atmospheric CO2 concentrations. This book provides an integrated view on measuring and modeling soil carbon dynamics. Based on a broad range of in-depth contributions by leading scientists it gives an overview of current research concepts, developments and outlooks and introduces cutting-edge methodologies, ranging from questions of appropriate measurement design to the potential application of stable isotopes and molecular tools. It includes a standardised soil CO2 efflux protocol, aimed at data consistency and inter-site comparability and thus underpins a regional and global understanding of soil carbon dynamics. This book provides an important reference work for students and scientists interested in many aspects of soil ecology and biogeochemical cycles, policy makers, carbon traders and others concerned with the global carbon cycle.

Book Description

An integrated view of the current and emerging methods and concepts applied in soil carbon research.

About the Author

Werner L. Kutsch coordinates the ecosystem fluxes group at the Max-Planck-Institute for Biogeochemistry, Jena, Germany. He has been awarded the Horst Wiehe Award 1994 by the Ecological Society of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (GfÖ) for an 'outstanding scientific work in the field of ecology'. His research interests lie in soil respiration, plant and microbial eco-physiology, dynamics of ecosystem fluxes, soil and ecosystem carbon balances in temperate and tropical ecosystems.

Michael Bahn is senior scientist at the Institute of Ecology, University of Innsbruck, where he teaches ecosystem and plant ecology and ecophysiology. He has carried out research on plant resource utilization, functional biodiversity and ecosystem processes in numerous mountain ecosystems across Europe. For several years he has been particularly concerned with understanding abiotic and biotic controls on ecosystem and soil C fluxes and their components across a range of spatial and temporal scales, with a focus on global change and the plant-soil interface.

Andreas Heinemeyer has been a soil scientist for more than 10 years, first at the University of Göttingen, Germany, and then at the University of York in 2002, where he continued to work as a research associate within the UK Centre for Terrestrial Carbon Dynamics. His research focus is on relating soil carbon stocks and fluxes to climate with a particular focus on the mycorrhizal symbioses, linking plant carbon supply to soil respiration. He was the first to have continuously measured mycorrhizal soil carbon fluxes in the field and is increasingly involved in plant-soil carbon flux model developments.

Excellent reference very well written, organized and enjoyable to read , if you are working in the field of soil carbon dioxide eflux measurements then this book should be on your book shelf.
It seems to focus more on the biological side of things in the soil i would recommend it for intermediates in the field.
This area of science is complex and every thing seems to be connected to something else therefore its not easy to prove or discuss a point without always been commented on.
The book is difficult to read from a mechanical engineers point of view, its language is complex and you need to read the paragraph several times to understand.

The first chapter covers the main issues of concern relating to soil carbon dioxide dynamics, which are pressure, temperature, percolation of water, vertical blowing winds, ground water table..etc
It also organizes your thoughts and draws your attention to to the other approaches to understand carbon dioxide fluxes through the ecological and physiological approach. This will be evident for you when you read lots of publications and feel that you cannot organize your thoughts properly.

The Second Chapter Cover the used measuring methods from static to dynamic chambers in addition to closed and open ones. It also covers the used equations for the measurement process.
