Carbon Sequestration in Agricultural Soils
Although it is common to alternate between till and no-till practices, past research has considered farmers’ tillage options to be limited to the dichotomous choice of whether or not to switch to a long-term no-till regime. This paper expands farmers’ options and models their choices of tillage frequency. Less frequent tilling sequesters more carbon but permits a greater accumulation of weeds, ...
متن کاملCarbon and Nitrogen Dynamics and Carbon Sequestration in Soils under Different Residue Management
A study was conducted at the research farm of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur, Bangladesh during August 2011 to May 2012 in two consecutive rice seasons of T. aman and Boro using three types of organic residues viz. poultry manure, cowdung and rice straw as treatments to quantify their effects on soil carbon, nitrogen, carbon sequestration and CO2 emission. Po...
متن کاملTropical Forestry Practices for Carbon Sequestration
Carbon sequestration through forestry has the potential to play a significant role in ameliorating global environmental problems such as atmospheric accumulation of GHG's and climate change. This chapter provides an overview of various aspects related to carbon sequestration through forestry. It describes the main concepts of carbon fixation; the trends in global environmental policy are discus...
متن کاملCarbon sequestration in tropical agroforestry systems
Removing atmospheric carbon (C) and storing it in the terrestrial biosphere is one of the options, which have been proposed to compensate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Agricultural lands are believed to be a major potential sink and could absorb large quantities of C if trees are reintroduced to these systems and judiciously managed together with crops and/or animals. Thus, the importance of ...
متن کاملAssessing the impact of changes in climate and CO2 on potential carbon sequestration in agricultural soils
[1] Changes in soil management can potentially increase the accumulation of soil organic carbon (SOC), thereby sequestering CO2 from the atmosphere. However, the amount of carbon sequestered in soils can be augmented or lessened due to changes in climate and atmospheric CO2 concentration. The purpose of this paper is to study the influence of climate and CO2 feedbacks on soil carbon sequestrati...
