The Global Carbon Cycle and Climate Change: Scaling Ecological Energetics from Organism to the Biosphere, Second Edition examines the global carbon cycle and energy balance of the biosphere, following carbon and energy through increasingly complex levels of metabolism—from cells to ecosystems. Utilizing scientific explanations, analyses of ecosystem functions, extensive references, and cutting-edge examples of energy flow in ecosystems, this is an essential resource to aid in understanding the scientific basis of the role of ecological systems in climate change. Includes new chapters on dynamic properties of the global carbon cycle, climate models and projections, and managing carbon in the global biogeochemical cycle.

David E. Reichle was the Associate Laboratory Director at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory for Environmental, Life, and Social Sciences, and the former director of its Environmental Sciences Division. He was also adjunct Professor of Ecology at the University of Tennessee. He has authored over 100 scientific articles on radionuclides in the environment and the metabolism of ecosystems, edited 4 books on productivity and carbon metabolism of ecosystems, and led development of several seminal government reports on greenhouse gas reduction technologies and carbon sequestration. He has served on many scientific advisory boards for the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Academy of Sciences, and other academic institutions and business organizations. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a recipient of a Scientific Achievement Award from the International Union of Forest Research Organizations, a Distinguished Service Award from the U.S. Department of Energy, and a Muskingum University Distinguished Alumni Service Award. He also served on the national board of Governors of The Nature Conservancy, and as Chairman of TNC’s Tennessee state chapter.
