Abstract

Restoration 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. Important factors controlling............
