✦ Synopsis

The underlying question is whether the capacity of soil to bind carbon, and thus keep it out of the atmosphere where it contributes to global warming, can be enhanced by anthropic intervention involving recommended land use and soil/crop management. The soil-erosion dimension of that is explored by scientists from around the world - including such countries as Laos, Benin, and Burkino Faso. They cover basic concepts and general approaches to the global carbon cycle, erosion, and eroded carbon; soil and carbon erosion from agro-ecosystems at the plot scale; and solubilization and carbon transfers in rivers and deposition in sediments. The 20 papers were selected from a September 2002 conference in Montpelier, France.

In addition to depleting nutrients necessary for healthy crops, soil erosion processes can affect the carbon balance of agroecosystems, and thus influence global warming. While the magnitude and severity of soil erosion are well documented, fluxes of eroded carbon are rarely quantified. The most com

Good management practices for carbon and nitrogen are vital to crop productivity and soil sustainability, as well as to the reduction of global greenhouse gases and environmental pollution. Since the 1950's, mathematical models have advanced our understanding of carbon and nitrogen cycling at both t
