About this Research Topic
This research topic aims to disclose the potential mechanism of different management practices on soil carbon dynamics, such as tillage, crop residue, fertilization, manure and cropping rotation, etc. Studying the effects of agricultural management on soil carbon sequestration is an important exploration for identifying best management practices, which will benefit enhancing soil carbon sequestration, moving toward sustainable agriculture, and mitigating global warming.
This Research Topic focuses on the effects of agricultural management on soil carbon sequestration. We invite researchers to contribute original articles from multiple disciplines related to this topic, including agronomy, soil science, and plant science, to present the new progress or important directions regarding, but not limited to, the following topics:
(1) Soil carbon dynamics under different agricultural management, including conservation tillage, conventional tillage, crop residue, fertilizer, manure, cropping rotation, etc;
(2) Modelling and mapping soil organic carbon;
(3) How to increase soil carbon storage in agricultural land;
(4) The potential mechanism of agricultural practices on sequestrating soil carbon;
(5) Carbon cycle and climate change mitigation.
Keywords: soil carbon, agricultural management, modelling and mapping, carbon sequestration, climate change
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
