Soil Carbon Sequestration For Improved Land Management.

Agricultural soils are amongst the planet's largest reservoirs of carbon and hold potential for expanded carbon sequestration, in order to mitigate the effects of greenhouse gases on our ecosystem.

This publication discusses agricultural soils as carbon sinks, and focuses on the role that soils of tropical and dryland areas can play in carbon sequestration.

It examines the land management strategies involved, reviews carbon dynamics and considers the fundamental role of organic matter in soil.
