"Proceedings of an International Workshop on Effects of Expected Climate Change on Soil Processes in the Tropics and Sub-tropics, 12-14 February 1990, Nairobi." "Organized by United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), International Society of Soil Science (ISSS) [and] sponsored by United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), International Society of Soil Science (ISSS), EC Technical Centre for Agriculture and Rural Development (CTA)."
Includes bibliographical references.
Front Cover; Soils on a Warmer Earth; Copyright Page; Contents; Forewords; Preface; Conclusions and recommendations; Chapter 1. Overview of the greenhouse effect. Global change syndrome, general outlook; Chapter 2. Inputs to climatic change by soil and agriculture related activities. Present status and possible future trends; Chapter 3. Processes that affect soil morphology; Chapter 4. Influence of climatic change on soil moisture regime, texture, structure and erosion; Chapter 5. Resilience against climate change? Soil minerals, transformations and surface properties, Eh, Ph
The theme of this book is a far reaching one and should attract great interest, both in industrialized as well as in less developed countries. Although the question of climate change and its effects on soil productivity is overshadowed by so many current events, it is almost certain that this subject will remain on the international agenda for the years to come; not only as science and research are concerned but also in relation to development policies, agricultural policies and others, especially since poor, rich, developed and developing countries are equally threatened by these problems.
