  • GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE AND TROPICAL ECOSYSTEMS
    R. LAL, J.M. KIMBLE AND B.A. STEWART
    Tropical ecosystems - the regions between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn - play an important role in global processes, economic issues, and political concerns. In their natural state, tropical ecosystems support a large quantity of above- and below-ground biomass, and constitute a major part of the terrestrial carbon pool. Conversion of the natural ecosystem to agriculture...
