- The study emphasised that organic carbon governs the chemical, physical and biological aspects of soil health, serving as a foundation for fertility.
Major Issues Highlighted
- Factors Responsible for SOC: Three factors which decide the SOC in the soil irrespective of the crops and cropping patterns are temperature, rainfall and elevation.
- Correlation between Organic Carbon and Elevation: Soils in hilly regions contain higher organic carbon, whereas lowland soils exhibit depletion.
- Low ....
