Conteúdo:

The pedosphere is the interface between the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere; it plays a major role in the overall global carbon cycle, and in tQe production of food and fiber around the world. Because ofhuman manipulation of the pedosphere! its interaction with the other spheres, and the attendant impacts on ecosystem productivity and environrnent quality, a symposium entitled, "Carbon Sequestration in Soils" was held at The Ohio State University in July 1996. This volume and two others contain the papers covering the information presented at the symposium. 
These volumes are the state-of-the-art compendium on this topical issue of global significance. They point out "Knowledge Gaps" and researchable issues related to "Soils and the Carbon Cycle", pedospheric processes and their interactions with other natural spheres, and relevant strategic and policy considerations. Information conceming soil organic ci1rbon pool in different ecosystems, the impact of land use and management on this pool, relationships of soil organic matter to soil structure, soil quality, and to mechanisms goveming carbon sequestration in soil, and other themes are presented in a comprehensive manner with the objectives of identifying and developing policy and management options. However, the information presented also points out that much more knowledge is needed to improve our future understanding of these fundamental processes that govem the dynamics of soil organic carbon and their accompanying effects on the entire fabric of life on earth. Papers dealing with the global C cycle and pools in different ecoregions are compiled in the flTst volume, those dealing with C sequestration in soil in relation to management and land use in the second volume, and those dealing with site-specific issues in the third volume. The editorial committee has provided introductory and concluding chapters to highlight the issues and summarize the salient features. A total of34 chapters are included in volume 1,41 in volume 2, and 18 in volume 3.
