Straw return has been widely recommended as an environmentally friendly practice to
manage carbon (C) sequestration in agricultural ecosystems. However, the overall trend and …

Soil carbon (SC) is important for food security, ecosystem functioning, and environmental
health, especially in light of global climate change. The physico-chemical character of …

Traditional fertilization management can damage soil structure and lead to severe soil
erosion. The practice of crop straw returning to the field reduces the negative impact of straw …

Population growth will lead to an increase in food demand, which will exert pressure on crop
production and likely increase the agricultural crop residue. The present study estimates …

Agricultural crop residue burning contribute towards the emission of greenhouse gases
(CO2, N2O, CH4), air pollutants (CO, NH3, NOx, SO2, NMHC, volatile organic compounds) …

The long-term sustainability of rice-wheat system (RWS) requires robust interventions such
as recycling of rice straw (RS) to improve soil health and minimal impact on environment …

Agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions contribute approximately 12% to total global
anthropogenic GHG emissions. Cereals (rice, wheat, and maize) are the largest source of …

Biochar derived from various materials has been investigated with regard to its ability to
decrease the bioavailability of heavy metals in contaminated soils, and thus reduce their …

Conventional tillage and crop establishment methods such as puddled transplanting in the
rice–wheat (Oryza sativa L.–Triticum aestivum L.) system in the Indo‐Gangetic Plains (IGP) …

Incorporation of crop residues into the soil has been widely recommended as an effective
method to sustain soil fertility and improve soil carbon sequestration in arable lands …
