Mark\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eSocieties throughout the world depend on food, fiber and forest  products. Continuity and security of agricultural and forest  production are therefore of paramount importance. Predicted changes in  climate could be expected to alter, perhaps significantly, the levels  and relative agricultural and forestry production of different nations  over the next few decades. \u003cbr\u003e  Agriculture and forestry are also likely to influence the rate and  magnitude of such change, as they can be both significant sources and  sinks of a number of greenhouse gases. Adaptive management strategies  therefore need to be formulated and implemented for these sectors, to  enable them to both adapt to future environmental change, and to limit  greenhouse gas emissions. \u003cbr\u003e  This book arose from an international workshop held in Canberra,  Australia, under the auspices of the former IPCC Working Group III  - Agriculture, Forestry and Other Human Activities Sub-Group  (AFOS). A number of leading speakers at the workshop were approached  to encapsulate the concepts discussed and developed at this workshop.  The resulting papers make up this volume. The book promotes a greater  understanding of the major sources and sinks of greenhouse gases  within intensive and extensive cropping and animal production systems,  and of agroforestry. It highlights the need to adopt a holistic  systems approach to monitoring and reducing greenhouse gas emissions  and assessing impacts, and to integrate climate change-related goals  and activities with other issues, such as biodiversity,  desertification, and sustainable agriculture and forestry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1994-06-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792329336\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-8328-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 146\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312381317260,"sku":"9780792329336","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792329336.jpg?v=1771525054","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792329336","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
