ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book examines the role of biomass management on soil carbon dynamics and how selective erosion can impoverish soil organic matter and transfer dissolved and particular soil organic carbon. It argues that the climatic change is the most serious problem for the twenty-first century. The book discusses soil carbon sequestration and state that because of its numerous ancillary benefits, it is an opportune solution to mitigating the atmospheric GHG emissions. It focuses on the significance of erosion by water and wind. The book explores the losses of particulate carbon by sheet erosion in tropical and Mediterranean conditions. It discusses that a good synthesis has been made for rivers with regards to physiography, climates, rocks, slopes, and vegetation.
