MINELAND RECLAMATION AND SOIL ORGANIC CARBON SEQUESTRATION IN OHI0

Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration in Reclaimed Minesoils

Land disturbance during mining results in loss of soil organic carbon (SOC). Reclamation of minelands can lead to recuperation and sequestration of SOC. The SOC thus accumulated, not only replenishes SOC losses but may also offset additional carbon di-oxide (CO2) emission. The assessment of the above was done on a chronosequence of reclaimed minesoils comprising pasture with topsoil application...

A CDMA-Based Soil-Quality Monitoring System for Mineland Reclamation

After the mining of mineral resource, mineland resources utilization became increasingly complicated. Soil and planting information can be used as the indicators to evaluate mineland reclamation level. In order to obtain the soil and planting information in real time, a CDMA-based soil-quality monitoring system was developed to wirelessly monitor air/soil environment and plant image in remote o...

Effects of Sandy Desertified Land Reclamation on Soil Carbon Sequestration (Key Study: Kerman province)

Desertification leads to decrease in the ecosystem C pool and attendant reduction in Soil Organic Carbon (SOC). Reclamation of sandy land in arid and semi-arid has a high potential to increase carbon sequestration and improving soil quality. Our objective as to examine the changes in the soil carbon sequestration and soil properties of two soil layers (0–20 and 20-50 cm) under two types of recl...

Soil organic carbon sequestration potential of cropland in China

[1] Soil organic carbon (SOC) in cropland is of great importance to the global carbon (C) balance and to agricultural productivity, but it is highly sensitive to human activities such as irrigation and crop rotation. It has been observed that under certain improved management practices, cropland soils can sequestrate additional C beyond their existing SOC level before reaching the C saturation ...
