DOI: INSIGHTS INTO SOIL CARBON DYNAMICS: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW ON CONCENTRATION AND STABILITY VARIATIONS IN TOP AND DEEP SOILS WITH VARIED AGGREGATE SIZE UNDER CLIMATE CHANGE IN SUBTROPICAL INDIA
Shipra Mahajan , Department of Agronomy; Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India Krishna Chaudhary , Department of Agronomy; Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture & Technology, Meerut, U.P., IndiaAbstract
This comprehensive review delves into the intricate dynamics of soil organic carbon (SOC) under the influence of climate change in the sub-tropical context of India. Focusing on both topsoil and deep soils with varied aggregate sizes, the study employs dynamic modeling to analyze SOC concentration and stability variations. By synthesizing existing research, this review aims to provide insights into the multifaceted interactions shaping SOC dynamics in response to evolving climatic conditions. Understanding these variations is crucial for formulating effective soil management strategies and promoting sustainable agricultural practices.
