Richard A. Houghton</b> is an ecologist who has worked on the
interaction between the global carbon cycle and climate for more than 30
years. His work brings together the history of land use with the changes
in carbon that result when lands are managed. That work has increased in
importance as the world recognizes the need to monitor changes in
terrestrial carbon resulting from both management and the effects of
climatic disruption. The climate is changing at an unprecedented rate in
human history, tropical forests are being cut, freshwater resources are
at risk, and biological diversity is declining. “We know how to reverse
these trends, but it will be the great challenge of our generation to
sustain prosperous and meaningful life experiences for 7 to 10 billion
people while stewarding the climate, forests, soils, air, and water upon
which life depends.” <br><br>
