Lal Crop Residue and Tillage Effects on Carbon Sequestration in a Luvisol in Central Ohio. (... this study concludes depending on the amount of crop residue returned to the soil, the large numbers of farmers converting from plow to no-till cultivation in the Corn Belt [in the United States] may create an important sink for atmospheric CO2 [carbon dioxide]. Soil can be either a source contributing additional CO2 to the atmosphere or it can be a sink in which carbon dioxide is held thereby not contributing to the atmospheric burden of this gas which is associated with global warming--from the abstract on the Soil and Tillage Research Web site) Soil and Tillage Research Volume 52, Numbers 1-2 (September 1999 ): 73-81. **An abstract of this article is currently available through the Web site of Soil and Tillage Research** Philip and Phylis Morrison 100 (or so) Books That Shaped a Century of Science. (... see the related article Forced to Choose in the same issue on pages 545, 547-548, 551-552) American Scientist Volume 87, Number 6 (November-December 1999): 542-544, 546, 549-550, 553. **The complete text of this article is currently available through the Web site of American Scientist** Pim Martens How Will Climate Change Affect Human Health? (... an overview of the possible effects of climate change [brought on by global warming] on public health including such areas as heat stress, air quality, infectious diseases, malnutrition, and rising sea levels) American Scientist Volume 87, Number 6 (November-December 1999): 534-541. **An abstract of this article is currently available through the Web site of American Scientist** Richard D. Norris and Ursula Rohl Carbon Cycling and Chronology of Climate Warming During the Palaeocene/Eocene Transition. (... using analyses of a sediment core taken from the bottom of the western North Atlantic Ocean, these researchers show that huge amounts of carbon were released into Earth's oceans and atmosphere within a time period of only a few thousand years some 55 million years ago. The source and cause of this carbon release was probably methane from the decomposition of methane hydrates in sediment at the bottom of the ocean--an abrupt failure of sedimentary carbon reservoirs. The end result of this huge release of carbon into Earth's atmosphere at that time was global warming--especially at high latitudes--and changes in plant and animal life on land and in the water. The results of this study suggest that large changes to the global carbon cycle have occurred in the past ... at rates that are similar to those induced today by human activity--from the abstract of the article on the Nature Web site) Nature Volume 401, Number 6755 (October 21, 1999): 775-778.
