Description
A diverse group of eminent contributors describe a variety of aspects regarding climate-biosphere interactions most susceptible to human perturbations. Models related to climate change and the carbon cycle, biogenic emissions of greenhouse gases in China not concerned with rice cultivation and environmental effects of climate change are among the subjects covered. Although climate-biosphere interactions in China are emphasized, the approaches and scientific principles discussed are designed to provide readers with a general understanding of the processes and data needed to comprehend these interactions.

Focusing on China, explores how the atmosphere and biological organisms affect each other, especially in light of the greenhouse effect and global warming. The authors of the 17 contributions are from a range of physical and biological sciences, reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of the subject. They discuss an aridity trend associated with global warming, the potential of methane emission in major rice ecologies, a descriptive basis for a model of soils biogeochemistry, the influences of global climate change on Chinese agriculture, and other topics.
