Conventional farming practices can lead to soil degradation and a decline in productivity.
Regenerative agriculture (RA) is purported by advocates as a solution to these issues that …

This paper reviews the current knowledge of microbial processes affecting C sequestration
in agroecosystems. The microbial contribution to soil C storage is directly related to …

Soil Health refers to the ecological equilibrium and the functionality of a soil and its capacity
to maintain a well balanced ecosystem with high biodiversity above and below surface, and …

The potential of storing carbon (C) in soil and offsetting the atmospheric CO 2 depends on
the management practices. This study investigated the long-term (15 years) effects of using …

Microbial community composition may be an important determinant of soil organic matter
(SOM) decomposition rates and nutrient turnover and availability in agricultural soils. Soil …

Soil is the largest reservoir of carbon (C) in the terrestrial biosphere and a slight variation in
this pool could lead to substantial changes in the atmospheric CO2 concentration, thus …

We present an assessment of biofuel use and agricultural field burning in the developing
world. We used information from government statistics, energy assessments from the World …

The effects of nitrogen fertilizer and tillage systems on soil organic carbon (SOC) storage
have been tested in many field experiments worldwide. The published results of this …

Soil is a potential C sink and could offset rising atmospheric CO2. The capacity of soils to
store and sequester C will depend on the rate of C inputs from plant productivity relative to C …

Soil microbial biomass comprises less than 5% of organic matter in soil. However, it
performs at least 3 critical functions in soil and the environment. It is a labile source of …
