Beschreibung
The first systematic examination of the role of geomorphological processes in the cycling of carbon through the terrestrial system.
* Argues that knowledge of geomorphological processes is fundamental to understanding the ways in which carbon is stored and recycled in the terrestrial environment
* Integrates classical geomorphological theory with understanding of microbial processes controlling the decomposition of organic matter
* Develops an interdisciplinary research agenda for the analysis of the terrestrial carbon cycle
* Informed by work in ecology, microbiology and biogeochemistry, in order to analyse spatial and temporal patterns of terrestrial carbon cycling at the landscape scale
* Considers the ways in which, as Humanity enters the Anthropocene, the application of this science has the potential to manage the terrestrial carbon cycle to limit increases in atmospheric carbon

Über den Autor

Martin Evans is Professor of Geomorphology at the University of Manchester, UK. He has studied physical geography at Oxford and the University of British Columbia, and worked at the University of Durham before coming to Manchester. His research focusses on the application of geomorphological and hydrological knowledge, to understanding the terrestrial carbon cycle and wider ecosystem services, with a particular interest in peatland systems.
