Finally, it can be said that the application of nanozeolite and plant residues improve carbon sequestration process and increase carbon pools in soil.
Information on decomposition rates of the added C is a prerequisite to designing strategies that improve C sequestration in farming systems.
The United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) is now also recommending the restoration of degraded ecosystems to secure ecosystem services, address challenges in disaster prevention, secure water supplies, improve carbon sequestration and enhance food security (Nellemann and Corcoran 2010).
Although it is impossible to significantly improve carbon sequestration by establishing forest in a short-term, reforestation is imperative in a long-term view as it clearly has a potential mechanism to offset emitted carbon.
The results of this study conclude that biochar could decrease C mineralization but enhanced microbial C use efficiency and, therefore, offer an important management strategy to improve C sequestration in nutrient and organic C deficient alkaline soil.
The potential to conserve forest, avoid GHG emissions, improve carbon sequestration, and produce renewable energy are evaluated by an illustrative model for five case studies (Pará – Brazil, East Kalimantan – Indonesia, Madagascar, Colombia and Liberia).
To improve C sequestration in soils and mitigate climate change, it is essential to understand how nutrient management strategies impact on soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and labile fractions.
After one year, the remaining C, K and P in the soil was about 30%, 20%and30%0% of that added, respectively and therefore plant cover could be a useful strategy to improve C sequestration and increase soil nutrient content in olive groves.
Well-managed pasture systems can improve carbon sequestration, reducing the impact of livestock on the planet.
This commensurately reduces the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the air and improves carbon sequestration potential [11].
