TL;DR: In this article, the economic potential of agricultural practices, such as water and rice management, set-aside, land use change and agroforestry, livestock management and manure management, is estimated.

TL;DR: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Land Use, Land Use Change, and Forestry (SR-LULUCF) has been prepared in response to a request from the UNFCCC Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The most appropriate management practices to increase soil carbon sink capacity vary regionally, dependent on both environmental and socioeconomic factors as discussed by the authors. But, effective mitigation policies will not be based on any single ‘magic bullet’ solutions, but rather on many modest reductions which are economically efficient and which confer additional benefits to society.

TL;DR: Light fraction (LF) material, comprised largely of incompletely decomposed organic residues, may provide a sensitive indicator of the effects of cropping practices on soil organic matter. as discussed by the authors found that the LF content of the surface soil (0-7.5 cm) accounted for 2.0 to 5.4%, 3.3 to 7.1%, and 7.5% of the organic C at Indian Head, Melfort, and Scott, respectively.

TL;DR: This chapter elaborates the microbially mediated increases in plant-available phosphorus (P) under soil conditions, one of the most important being the activity of the PS microbial population already in the soil.
