Unlocking Soil Health: Boosting Agriculture and Fighting Climate Change
Soil organic carbon is crucial for soil health, affecting its biological, chemical, and physical properties. Various methods are used to measure soil organic carbon, which plays a key role in nutrient cycling by soil microorganisms and the formation of soil aggregates. Loss of soil organic carbon can lead to soil erosion and other problems, but conservation agriculture practices can help increase it. Studies have shown a strong correlation between soil aggregation and soil organic carbon levels.
