Ecosystem Sustainability through Strategies of Integrated Carbon and Land-Use Management

摘要: Introduction Terrestrial ecosystems provide a number of key services to society that are linked carbon (C) cycle processes, few which include controlling food and fiber production, basic building materials, energy sources, soil water holding capacity. Human societies have developed land-use practices enhance biological C processes increase the delivery many ecosystem services. However, some modifications led unintended degradation land systems in ways reduced natural capacity maintain range supporting, provisioning, regulating As strives sustain while attempting meet challenge growing human population manage for climate change, new sustainable strategies must play role. Sustainable management – those provision at or from location should be main component any strategy if we successfully deal with global environmental challenges. Society is now demanding much more achieve multiple goals. Multiple being required these food, environments maintaining biodiversity, production products, preventing pollutants entering air waterways.
