Question

Which is more important soil organic or inorganic cabon for carbon sequestration?

Answer 1

Carbon exists in many forms, predominately as plant biomass, soil organic matter, and as the gas carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere and dissolved in seawater. Carbon sequestration is the long- term storage of carbon in oceans, soils, vegetation (especially forests), and geologic formations

Answer 2

Answer:

Organic matter improves soil's structural stability, water-holding capacity, nutrients availability and provide favorable environment for soil organisms [13]. Carbon sequestration activities offer an opportunity for regaining lost productivity especially under agricultural systems.
