Dynamics of Nutrients, Soil Organic Carbon and Smart Nutrient Management Practices
摘要
Soil organic carbon (SOC) and nutrients are important natural resources that play a vital role in soil fertility management and ecosystem stabilisation. Improvement in SOC and soil nutrients with optimum availability to plants further enhances the growth and productivity of different crops and cropping systems under changing climate and land use systems as a mitigating option under changing climate. Cropping systems and other SOC models have evolved over the last four decades in response to the demand for modelling of SOC and soil nutrients dynamics for their quantification in different crops and cropping systems under varied management practices. Therefore, this chapter attempts to briefly elaborate upon the impact of climate change on plant nutrients and soil organic carbon, SOC and nutrients dynamics in soil, new approaches of nutrient management and new generation fertilisers.
