  2. Carbon sequestration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_sequestration

    The technical term for this is carbon sequestration. The overall goal of carbon farming is to create a net loss of carbon from the atmosphere. [85] This is done by increasing the rate at which carbon is sequestered into soil and plant material. One option is to increase the soil's organic matter content.

  3. Mycorrhizal fungi and soil carbon storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycorrhizal_fungi_and_soil...

    Soil carbon storage is an important function of terrestrial ecosystems. Soil contains more carbon than plants and the atmosphere combined. [1] Understanding what maintains the soil carbon pool is important to understand the current distribution of carbon on Earth, and how it will respond to environmental change.

  4. Soil carbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_carbon

    Soil also has carbon sequestration abilities where carbon dioxide is fixed in the soil by plant uptakes. [17] This accounts for the majority of the soil organic matter (SOM) in the ground, and creates a large storage pool (around 1500 Pg) for carbon in just the first few meters of soil and 20-40% of that organic carbon has a residence life ...

  5. No-till farming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-till_farming

    No-till farming has been claimed to increase soil organic matter, and thus increase carbon sequestration. [24] [50] While many studies report soil organic carbon increases in no-till systems, others conclude that these effects may not be observed in all systems, depending on factors, such as climate and topsoil carbon content. [51]

  6. Carbon farming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_farming

    Carbon farming enhances carbon sequestration in the soil. Carbon farming is a set of agricultural methods that aim to store carbon in the soil, crop roots, wood and leaves. The technical term for this is carbon sequestration. The overall goal of carbon farming is to create a net loss of carbon from the atmosphere. [1]

  7. Soil management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_management

    Organic farming in particular emphasizes optimal soil management, because it uses soil health as the exclusive or nearly exclusive source of its fertilization and pest control. Soil management is an important tool for addressing climate change by increasing soil carbon and as well as addressing other major environmental issues associated with ...

  8. Soil regeneration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_regeneration

    Soil is composed of organic matter (decomposing plants, animals, and microbes), biomass (living plants, animals, and microbes), water, air, minerals (sand, silt, and clay), and nutrients (nitrogen, carbon, phosphorus). [4] For optimal plant growth, a proper carbon to nitrogen ratio of 20–30:1 must be maintained. [3]

  9. Soil organic matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_organic_matter

    The pool of organic carbon exists in dynamic equilibrium between gains and losses; soil may therefore serve as either a sink or source of carbon through carbon sequestration or greenhouse gas emissions, respectively, depending on exogenous factors.
