Natural  ecosystems are currently sequestering carbon and it is economically  feasible to manage existing and additional terrestrial (forest, soil,  saline land) and aquatic (coastal, wetland and ocean) ecosystems to  substantially increase the level of carbon storage. The prospect of  managing natural systems to absorb additional carbon should begin to  change the mindset under which scientists, policy makers and society  deal with the issue of further greenhouse gas increases. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401052405\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-2793-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 466\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312813133964,"sku":"9789401052405","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401052405.jpg?v=1771531018","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401052405","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
