From Farm to Planet: Soil Organic Carbon Impact on Agriculture and Climate Change
- 09 April 2024
Recognized as a key marker of soil vitality, soil organic carbon (SOC) embodies the largest land-based reservoir of organic carbon, estimated at over 2000 gigatons. This vast carbon storehouse is intimately linked with vegetative growth, influencing the well-being of humans, fauna, and entire ecosystems. SOC contributes to a range of vital ecosystem services, such as moderating climate, managing water resources, facilitating nutrient distribution, preventing soil erosion, and fostering biological diversity.
