Transformation to Conservation Agriculture Shows Reduced Soil CO<sub>2</sub> Emissions and Improved Soil Aggregate Stability in the First Season in Rain-Fed Areas in India
Abstract:Conservation Agriculture (CA) is capable of improving soil health and ecosystem functions. Soil carbon sequestration is one of the ecosystem processes that is of importance in sustainable land management involving reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and adaptation to climate change. In this study, we wanted to determine, during the first year of the process of establishing a CA cropping system in rain-fed areas in Madhya Pradesh state of India, which soil health indicators show measurable signs of improvemen… Show more
