Soil has a high capacity for absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2). The significance of soil organic carbon (SOC) in tropical regions is often overlooked, despite its crucial role. This study investigates the potential of forest management to enhance the sequestration of SOC and rehabilitate degraded tropical ecosystems. Sequestering soil organic carbon has the potential to improve soil fertility while also mitigating land degradation and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Abstract:

Soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration is important in the global carbon cycle and an integral part of many initiatives and policies to mitigate climate change. For efficient targeting of measures leading to SOC sequestration, it is necessary to know the actual SOC content (%) and a realistic target SOC content (in contrast to the saturation content, which may not be easily achievable) under local biophysical and socioeconomic conditions. We developed a new method for the practical assessment of achievable SOC sequestration concerning soil texture based on a non-linear boundary plane approach

Abstract:

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is considered one of the ozone layer gases that contribute to climate change. As the area under agricultural use expands, the level of CO2 from soil as an agricultural by-product increases in the atmosphere. Burning rice husks in open air, decomposing plant materials among other activities release CO2 directly to the atmosphere. Rice husks as a by-product of rice production in Kenya has both the potential to be a source of greenhouse gas (GHG) and production of biochar. Production and deposition of rice husk biochar (RHB) into soil is thought to be one of the viable option

AbstractAlnus acuminata Kunth. (alnus) is widely used in agroforestry systems across the globe and is believed to provide multiple ecosystem services; however, evidence is lacking in agroforestry literature to support the perceived benefits, particularly in Rwanda. To understand carbon sequestration potential and other benefits of alnus, a household survey, tree inventory and destructive sampling were conducted in north-western Rwanda. Over 75% of the respondents had alnus trees in their farms. The trees provide stakes for climbing beans, firewood and timber. They also improve soil fertility a

In the context of the continued decline in the fertility of cultivated tropical ferruginous soils, farmers in most of Niger's agricultural zone are practising FMNR to cope with soil degradation and improve their agricultural production. The present study, conducted in one of the country's main growing and generalized FMNR regions, aims to assess the effects of FMNR on cultivated tropical ferruginous SCOS in order to appreciate its contribution. It consisted of taking soil samples from a depth of 0-20 cm using an auger and a cylinder to determine the soil organic carbon content and bulk density

Abstract:

Conversion of natural forests into conventional agricultural lands may lead to significant soil organic carbon losses. Soil organic carbon stock assessment for such land use changes is very crucial for appropriate land use management, soil fertility improvement, ecosystem restoration and climate-change mitigation measures. However, information on the status of soil organic carbon stocks for such land use types is limited in Eritrea and in the Horn of Africa. Thus, the study aimed to assess soil organic carbon stocks for natural forests, continuous cropping, shifting cultivation, and grazing la

Biochar, a carbon-rich soil amendment produced by pyrolysis of biomass, has emerged as a promising tool for enhancing soil health, agricultural productivity, and carbon sequestration. Biochar can be produced from a wide range of biomass feedstocks, including agricultural residues (e.g., crop straws, husks, and shells), forestry waste (e.g., wood chips and sawdust), and organic waste materials.

Symbiotic biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is a complex process that involves rhizobia, a diverse group of α and β-proteobacteria bacteria, and legume species. Benefits provided by BNF associated with legume trees in tropical environments include improvements to efficiency of nitrogen (N) use, increase of soil carbon sequestration, stabilization of soil organic matter, decrease of soil penetration resistance, and improvement of soil fertility. All these benefits make BNF a crucial ecosystem service to the sustainability of tropical agriculture. Due to the importance of this ecological proces

Soil organic matter (SOM) in China's arable land is a critical foundation for maintaining agricultural productivity and ecosystem health. However, in recent years, the content of SOM has shown a declining trend due to unsustainable agricultural practices, excessive use of chemical fertilizers, and land degradation. This decline has adversely affected soil fertility, water retention capacity, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration. Although certain regions have seen improvements through the application of organic fertilizers, straw return, and conservation tillage, the overall SOM levels remain

Albic soils in Northeast China are characterized by low fertility due to factors such as high viscosity, acidity, and carbon depletion. To address these challenges and promote sustainable crop production, biochar and manure have been suggested as soil amendments. However, the mechanisms behind these improvements remain unclear. This study involved a pot experiment to explore how varying levels of biochar application (0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.0%), alone or combined with cow manure (0.5%), affect soil properties. The dual application of biochar (2.0%) and manure (0.5%) elicited synergistic improvements

Our previous studies indicated that ditch-buried straw return (DB-SR) can improve soil processes in the short term, i.e. increasing microbial metabolic capability, reducing nitrogen leaching loss and promoting soil aggregation. However, it remains unclear how long-term implementation of DB-SR affects soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) processes and crop yields. Here, the effects of DB-SR on soil C pool and N availability as well as grain yields were investigated after consecutive application of 6 (rice season) and 6.5 years (wheat season).
