Carbon-sequestration to mitigate climate change and improve soil

Abstract

In sequestering organic carbon through mulching, addition of organic manure and integrated nutrient management helps to raise carbon levels. Soil carbonsequestration is a natural, costeffective, and environmentallyfriendly process. Once sequestered, carbon remains in the soil as long as restorative land use, restoration of salt-affected soil, and other best management practices are followed. It is a win-win option.
