Soil carbon sequestration is the process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in soil. This is achieved through various practices such as no-till farming, cover cropping, and agroforestry, which help increase the organic matter content in the soil and promote the retention of carbon. Soil carbon sequestration has the potential to mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving soil health and fertility. Research in this area focuses on understanding the mechanisms and potential benefits of soil carbon sequestration, as well as developing strategies to enhance carbon storage in agricultural and natural ecosystems.
