Carbon dynamics, potential and cost of carbon sequestration in double rice cropping system in semi arid southern India

Abstract

Studying the dynamics of soil organic carbon (SOC) is important for understanding the mechanistic pathways of C stabilization into different SOC pools. An attempt was, therefore, made to assess the impact of double rice cropping system with different levels of fertilizers and in combination with organics on C sequestration and its stabilization in an Inceptisol using a 14-year old experiment at Jagtial under semi-arid climate in India.
