Managed Ecosystems and CO2 Case Studies, Processes, and Perspectives / edited by Josef Nösberger, S.P. Long, R.J. Norby, M. Stitt, G.R. Hendrey, H. Blum.

Managed ecosystems cover a large part of the Earth's land surface, provide almost all of our food and most of our wood and fibre, and are increasingly a source of renewable energy. Forecasting the ability of managed ecosystems to continue these vital roles in a globally changing environment is...
