The character of the Earth s surface is constantly changing as aresult of the interactions of the great circulations of energy,water and materials that create the biogeochemical cycles betweenthe atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, cryosphere andbiosphere.
In addition human actions, from social and environmental interplay- often termed human ecology - have to be seen as part of a wholeEarth system, impacting on biogeochemical cycles to producefeedbacks and responses. Some resulting impacts are readilyexpected, but others are less easily anticipated and all affectglobal environmental change.
The task of Volume Three of the Encyclopedia is to look at andanalyse the interactions, feedbacks and causes from a holisticviewpoint and report upon some of the key aspects of humanknowledge that are required for an integrated science.
Coverage includes:
Human disturbance of the Earth system
Global land cover and land use
Global population trends
Trends in global emissions
Water use: Future trends, and environmental and socialimpacts
Rice and its spread
Environmental change and human health
Environmental changes driven by civil conflict and war
