The '4 per mille Soils for Food Security and Climate'was launched at the COP21 with an
aspiration to increase global soil organic matter stocks by 4 per 1000 (or 0.4%) per year as a …

Resilient, productive soils are necessary to sustainably intensify agriculture to increase
yields while minimizing environmental harm. To conserve and regenerate productive soils …

The global magnitude (Pg) of soil organic carbon (SOC) is 677 to 0.3‐m, 993 to 0.5‐m, and
1,505 to 1‐m depth. Thus,~ 55% of SOC to 1‐m lies below 0.3‐m depth. Soils of …

Applying biochar to soil is thought to have multiple benefits, from hel** mitigate climate

In this paper we present effects of four paired agricultural management practices (organic
matter (OM) addition versus no organic matter input, no-tillage (NT) versus conventional …

Rising demands for agricultural products will increase pressure to further intensify crop
production, while negative environmental impacts have to be minimized. Ecological …

Drought is a predominant cause of low yields worldwide. There is an urgent need for more
water efficient crop** systems facing large water consumption of irrigated agriculture and …

Soil contains approximately 2344Gt (1 gigaton= 1 billion tonnes) of organic carbon globally
and is the largest terrestrial pool of organic carbon. Small changes in the soil organic carbon …

The straw returning technique is one of the important measures for soil carbon sequestration
