Soil Health and Carbon Sequestration
摘要
Soil health and carbon (C) sequestration are intricately linked, with soil C playing a key role in maintaining productive and resilient soils. This chapter explains the factors affecting soil C dynamics, the processes that stabilize organic C, and how soil C supports essential soil health functions like nutrient cycling, microbial activity, soil structure, water retention, and resistance to degradation, highlighting its importance for sustainable ecosystems.
