About this Research Topic
Soil is a significant carbon reservoir and plays a crucial role in the global carbon cycle. However, certain agricultural practices, land use changes, and soil management techniques could trigger the release of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide, from the soil into the atmosphere. These emissions contribute to climate change and global warming. Therefore, reducing greenhouse gas emissions from soil becomes essential for enhancing soil health, mitigating climate change, and promoting agricultural sustainability.
This Research Topic aims to explore and discuss effective strategies and practices for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from soil. By highlighting carbon sequestration, soil health enhancement, and the implementation of sustainable soil management techniques, the Research Topic will provide valuable insights and recommendations for land managers, policymakers, and researchers in promoting soil health and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.
This Research Topic welcomes contributions in the following areas:
1. Greenhouse gas emissions from soil: An overview of the sources and processes of greenhouse gas emissions from soil, including carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide emissions.
2. Carbon sequestration and soil health: Discussion of carbon sequestration in soils for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing soil health.
3. Mitigation strategies and practices: Detailed discourse on various mitigation strategies and practices, including soil carbon management, nutrient and water management, and biodiversity conservation.
4. Case studies and innovative solutions: Presentation of case studies and innovative technologies from different regions or sectors, highlighting effective greenhouse gas emissions reduction through sustainable soil management practices.
5. Policy recommendations: Provision of relevant policy recommendations and guidelines for decision-makers and stakeholders in promoting soil health and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from soil.
Interdisciplinary contributions, including soil science, environmental science, and policy studies, are encouraged to provide a comprehensive understanding of the topic. All submissions should be evidence-based, embodying clear methodologies, meticulous data analysis, and practical implications for sustainable soil management and greenhouse gas emissions reduction.
