The Vital Role of Carbon in Earth’s Ecosystem and Soil’s Key Position in the Carbon Cycle
Enhancing soil carbon sequestration offers a multi-faceted approach to mitigating climate change and improving agricultural sustainability. Practices such as conservation tillage, cover cropping, and crop rotation not only capture atmospheric CO2 but also enhance soil quality, reduce erosion, and increase crop yields. However, the effectiveness of these methods depends on careful management and consideration of potential costs, both environmental and economic.
