Carbon Status of Indian Soils : An OverviewTBhattacharyyaauthorD KPalauthorPChandranauthorS KRayauthorCMandalauthorS PWaniauthorK LSahrawatauthorRestoration of soil health through soil organic carbon
(SOC) management is a major concern for tropical
soils. The accelerated decomposition of SOC due to
agriculture, resulting in loss of carbon to the
atmosphere and its contribution to the green house
effect, is a serious global problem. The contribution
of SOC to improving soil physical, chemical and
biological properties and maintaining soils integrity
for sustaining soil productivity is well known.
