Soil carbon levels impact crop growth potential in Assam district.
The study aimed to map the levels of soil organic carbon and carbon sequestration potential in Biswanath Chariali, Assam. Soil samples were collected from different areas and analyzed. The results showed that soil organic carbon was lowest in the western part of the study area, while carbon sequestration potential was lowest in areas with intensive rice cultivation. The rest of the district had medium to high carbon sequestration potential. The differences in soil properties, like bulk density, likely influenced these variations. The study highlighted the importance of management practices in determining soil carbon sequestration potential.
