Journal ArticleDOI
Soil carbon sequestration impacts on global climate change and food security.
TL;DR: In this article, the carbon sink capacity of the world’s agricultural and degraded soils is 50 to 66% of the historic carbon loss of 42 to 78 gigatons of carbon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil structure and management: a review
C.J. Bronick,Rattan Lal +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, soil organic carbon (SOC), biota, ionic bridging, clay and carbonates are associated with aggregation by rearrangement, flocculation and cementation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil carbon sequestration to mitigate climate change
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a sustainable management of soil organic carbon (SOC) pool through conservation tillage with cover crops and crop residue mulch, nutrient cycling including the use of compost and manure, and other management practices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil Erosion and the Global Carbon Budget
TL;DR: Soil erosion has a strong impact on the global C cycle and this component must be considered while assessing theglobal C budget and adoption of conservation-effective measures may reduce the risks of C emission and sequester C in soil and biota.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forest soils and carbon sequestration
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method to improve the soil organic carbon (SOC) stock through afforestation of agricultural soils and management of forest plantations through C sequestration, and the rate of SOC sequestration and the magnitude and quality of soil C stock depend on the complex interaction between climate, soils, tree species and management.
