Carbon Management in Tropical and Sub-Tropical Terrestrial Systems
Soil organic carbon (SOC), a key component of the global carbon (C) pool, plays an important role in C cycling, regulating climate, water supplies and biodiversity, and therefore in providing the ecosystem services that are essential to human well-being.

Foreword
The book Carbon Management in Tropical and Sub-tropical Terrestrial Systems addresses a theme of global significance. Carbon (C), an important constituent of all ecosystems, is intricately interconnected with numerous ecosystem services for human wellbeing and nature conservation. Cycling of C is coupled with those of water (H2O), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), sulphur (S) and other essential elements. It is the intensity and strength of the coupled cycling of C that is the source of ecosystem services including the net primary production, moderation of climate, renewability and filtration of water, activity and species diversity of biota, etc. Anthr
