Sommario/riassunto |
|
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 184.Carbon Cycling in Northern Peatlands examines the role that northern peatlands play in regulating the atmospheric carbon budget. It summarizes current research in four interconnected areas: large-scale peatland dynamics and carbon cycling; plant and microbial dynamics and their effect on carbon fluxes to the atmosphere; methane accumulation in, and loss from, peatlands; and water and dissolved carbon fluxes through peatlands. The volume highlights includeA thorough assessment |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book is the result of the collective effort of some of the foremost experts and scholars of Chinese law, Asian law, and Chinese economics |
|
|

|
|
and carefully examines the relationship between law and China's economic development. Serious inquiries and candid opinions of the contributors have made for stimulating discussion and debate in many controversial areas. This book is likely to result in further research into factors affecting China's economic development, political change, and China's interaction with the international community.The book explores the development of the Chinese |
