soil organic carbon- a key for sustainable soil quality under scenario of cli...Bornali Borah
The global soil resource is already showing a sign of serious degradation (Banwart et al. 2014) which has ultimately negative impact on sustained crop yield and environmental quality. Due to intense rainfall and concurrent rise in temperature with changing climate, the fertile top soil is prone to severe degradation with depletion of SOC. Most soils in agricultural ecosystems have lost soil C ranging from 30 to 60 t C ha-1 with the magnitude of 50 to 75% loss (Lal, 2004). Hence, restoration of soil quality through different carbon management options will enhance soil health, mitigate climate change and provide sustained agricultural production.
Soil Carbon & its Sequestration for Better Soil HealthBiswajitPramanick4
Carbon sequestration is the long- term storage of carbon in oceans, soils, vegetation (especially forests), and geologic formations. Although oceans store most of the Earth's carbon, soils contain approximately 75% of the carbon pool on land — three times more than the amount stored in living plants and animals.
This presentation was presented during the 1 Parallel session on Theme 1, Monitoring, mapping, measuring, reporting and verification (MRV) of SOC, of the Global Symposium on Soil Organic Carbon that took place in Rome 21-23 March 2017.

Impact of soil properties on carbon sequestrationyoginimahadule
Carbon sequestration is an important global phenomenon that plays a significant role in maintaining a balanced global carbon cycle and sustainable crop production. Carbon Sequestration is the placement of CO2 into a depository in such way that it remains safely and not released back to the atmosphere.
Among the soil factors, texture plays an important role in C sequestration. The observation that the decrease in clay- and silt associated C and N upon cultivation of soils was generally less than the decrease in C and N in the particle size fraction > 20 µm confirms that clay and sift particles protect C against microbial degradation (Hassink, 1997).
Increase in SOC concentration with conservation tillage was partly responsible for the increased macroaggregation near the soil surface.( Zhang et al. 2013)
Electrical conductivity in soils affects the organic carbon content by reducing the uptake of minerals and water by the plant which ultimately results in less plant growth. A higher electrical conductivity causes less decomposition in soils which consequently reduces the accumulation of humus meanwhile, the values of acidity; percentage of organic matter, organic carbon and the sequestration of carbon in soils containing T. kotschyiwas more than the values observed in soils containing T. aphylla and the soil of the control which contained no plants.
Nitrogen applicaton at optimum rate help to sequester carbon in soil.(Jiang et al. 2019). Integrated nutrient application in long-term rice-wheat cropping system would be a suitable option with respect to its potentiality of increasing yield, nutrient availability, and sequestering soil organic carbon for sustainable soil health management in partially reclaimed sodic soils of the north Indian subcontinent. He concluded that FYM application increase passive pool of soil while green manure increase active and labile pool. (Choudhury et al. 2018)
Six et al. (2006) by various observation of different sites concludes changes in the relative abundance and activity of bacteria and fungi may significantly affect C cycling and storage, due to the unique physiologies and differential interactions with soil physical properties of these two microbial groups. It has been hypothesized that C turnover is slower in fungal-dominated communities in part because fungi in corporate more soil C into biomass than bacteria and because fungal cell walls are more recalcitrant than bacterial cell walls. Same result by Aliasgharzad et al. 2016).

Reclamation of degraded lands has huge potential for carbon (C) sequestration to counteract the climate change. It was estimated that about 1,964 Mha of land is degraded worldwide and in India 146.8 Mha of land is degraded ( Bai et al., 2008). The major land-degradation processes in the World and in Asia are water erosion, wind erosion, salinity, alkalinity, nutrient depletion and metal pollution. Enrichment of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks through sequestration of atmospheric CO2 in agricultural soils and degraded lands is important because of its impacts on improving soil quality and agronomic production, and also for adaptation to mitigation of climate change. Various management strategies like conservation agriculture, integrated nutrient management, afforestation, alternate land use, plantations and amendments and use of biochar hold promise for long-term C sequestration. It can be concluded that land degradation is a serious problem in India which need to be tackled because shrinking of land resource base will lead to a substantial decline in food grain production which in turn would hamper the economic growth rate and there would also be unprecedented increase in mortality rate owing to hunger and malnutrition.

Climate change impacts on soil health and their mitigation and adaptation str...Rajendra meena
The increasing concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs) is bringing about major changes to the global environment resulting in global warming, depletion of ozone concentration in the stratosphere, changes in atmospheric moisture and precipitation and enhanced atmospheric deposition. These changes impact several soil processes, which are influence soil health. Soil health refers to the capacity of soil to perform agronomic and environmental functions. A number of physical, chemical and biological characteristics have been proposed as indicators of soil health. Generally, biological processes in soil such as decomposition and storage of organic matter, C and N cycling, microbial and metabolic quotients are likely to be influenced greatly by climate change and have thus high relevance to assess climate change impacts (Allen et al., 2011). Soil organic matter (SOM) exerts a major influence on several soil health indicators and is thus considered a key indicator of soil health. An optimal level of SOM is essential for maintaining soil health and alleviating rising atmospheric CO2 concentration. Elevated CO2 has increased C decay rates generally but in some cases elevated CO2 increases soil C storage (Jastrow et al., 2016). Enhancing the soil organic carbon pool also improves agro-ecosystem resilience, eco-efficiency, and adaptation to climate change. Healthy soils provide the largest store of terrestrial carbon, when managed sustainably; soils can play an important role in climate change mitigation by storing carbon (carbon sequestration) and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere (Paustian et al., 2016).
Wright et al., (2005) reported that no tillage increase soil organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen (SON) 11 and 21% in corn and 22 and 12 % in cotton than conventional tillage. Agroforestry system at farmers’ field enhance soil biological activity and amongst trees, P. cineraria based system brought maximum and significant improvement in soil biological activity (Yadav et al ., 2011).
It is about the importance of Soil carbon.The ways for enhancing the soil carbon and how these soil carbon changes over period of time under different land use systems.
This presentation by Cristina Arias-Navarro (INRA) was given on the 26 of June 2019 as part of the SB50 side event – Enhancing NDC Ambition Through Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration. Country representatives and experts discussed the potential of soil organic carbon sequestration as a climate change mitigation option and gaps between countries’ current and potential commitments.

Soil is the largest carbon reservoir pool of terrestrial ecosystem and plays a key role in the global carbon budget and greenhouse effect.

Soil reserves about 1550 GT of carbon as Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) and 1700 GT as carbonate carbon (Soil Inorganic Carbon , i,e SIC).Soil carbon(C) plays an important role in exchange of CO2 between atmosphere and biosphere. SOC and SIC are important as it determine ecosystem and agro-ecosystem functions influencing soil structure ,soil fertility ,water holding capacity , cation exchange capacity and other soil characteristics.

It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

• Key principles should govern the work:
• careful coordination of data and analytical methods;
• same data sources;
• same carbon model and assumptions within a model.
• Not feasible to have semi-independent efforts (country-driven
analyses) and yield consistent results. A modelling team is
needed.
• Sensitivity and uncertainty should be established.
• Definition of a realistic and feasible 'recommended land use and
management practices’ is the main challenge.
Editor's Notes
The role of soil organic carbon in global carbon cycles is receiving increasing attention both as a potentially large and uncertain source of CO2 emissions in response to predicted global temperature rises, and as a natural sink for carbon able to reduce atmospheric CO2.
Carbon emissions from land use and land cover change (LULCC) represent the second largest anthropogenic source of carbon into the atmosphere, and they are the most uncertain component of the global carbon cycle.
Hence, a need exists for improved understanding of soil carbon stocks, their distribution and likely impacts of management options on soil carbon emissions to improve models and policies.
The SOC sequestration is caused by those practices that add high amounts of biomass to the soil, cause minimal soil disturbance, conserve soil and water, improve soil structure, enhance activity and species diversity of soil fauna, and strengthen mechanisms of elemental cycling.
An extensive body of research has shown that land management practices can increase soil carbon stocks on agricultural lands with practices including: Cover cropping, addition of organic manures, conservation tillage, mulching, fertility management, agroforestry, and rotational grazing
We model the global SOC restoration potential in the top 30cm of soil as a full-scale SOC Restoration scenario by aggregating the effects of the most effective restoration category in each location.
SLM and reforestation practices can affect SOC in two ways: Restoring SOC and Preventing SOC loss
Establishing SOC restoration potential requires: i) restoration and prevention trend lines considering time after investment (literature review) ii) SOC restoration ceilings (S-World) iii) Current levels of soil loss and SOC loss (NDVI+S-World) iv) Classification of restoration measures and developing an allocation mechanism for these categories of restoration measures (WOCAT and data review)

CIRCASA (Coordination of International Research Cooperation on soil Carbon Sequestration in Agriculture) aims to develop international synergies concerning research and knowledge exchange in the field of carbon sequestration in agricultural soils at European Union and global levels, with active engagement of all relevant stakeholders.
The Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Programme. There are several methodologies relevant for SOC management in agriculture and forestry. The Soil Carbon Quantification Methodology was approved since 2012. It supports sustainable methods of agriculture and other land use.
The OCCP is a voluntary program for the verification, certification, and registration of Oklahoma carbon offsets and avoided emissions from agriculture, forestry, and geologic sequestration. It provides project verification to approved aggregators and buyers of carbon offsets.
AFR100 (the African Forest Landscape Restoration Initiative) is a country-led effort to bring 100 million hectares of land in Africa into restoration by 2030.
SOC stocks are temporally and spatially variable which complicates sampling, measuring and monitoring SOC stocks. Countries place great emphasis on managing, increasing and monitoring SOC stocks for sustainable development, fostering adaptation to climate change, sustainable agriculture, and restoration of degraded soils. However, quantifying these benefits will not be possible unless changes in C stocks can be measured and monitored accurately and cost‐effectively.
Accurate SOC measurement and monitoring requires the establishment of baseline SOC stocks from which to measure future changes associated with environmental changes and management.
There is general agreement that the technical potential for sequestration of carbon in soil is significant, and some consensus on the magnitude of that potential.

Black soils are of particular global importance because of their relevance to food security and climate change. Considering the great importance of these soils, it becomes crucial to promote their conservation and sustainable use and maintain their functioning in the longer term to keep them supporting food security while protecting the environment and mitigating climate change.
Considering the importance of soils with very high SOC content, the International Network of Black Soils (INBS) was launched during the Global Symposium on Soil Organic Carbon on 21-23 March 2017. The objective of the network is to foster technical cooperation among countries having these precious soils.
Objectives of the INBS
To provide a platform for countries with BS to discuss common issues related to the conservation and SM of BS.
To develop a report on the global status.
To foster collaboration among countries.
Identify relevant research gaps.
Platform for enhancing collaboration and synergies to move SSM forward and achieve implementation in black soil region countries of the world.
However, understanding the potential for sequestering SOC is still unknown.
The use of a single ‘soil-centered’ carbon model is proposed, in order to obtain consistent results. Based on its widespread use, fewer data requirements, and relative simplicity to obtain input data compared to other models, Roth-C model is suggested.
Modeling, data analysis and digital mapping should be performed by country designed experts, following a standard protocol.
Careful coordination and harmonization of climatic, land cover, soil data (same resolution) required as direct or indirect inputs, and election of defined data sources is essential in order to obtain consistent results among regions and countries.
National expert opinion (local extensionists, local researchers, local officers) is required in order to current and feasible ‘improved’ land use/management practices, required as direct or indirect inputs to run the models. The role of National experts/analysts is also key to interpreting, discussing and supervising preliminary and final results.
The set-up of a team of regional modeling-digital mapping experts is proposed, in order to develop protocols (‘Cook-book’), develop technical capacity in different countries and regions through technical work-shops, and to coordinate and guide national modeling and mapping activities
General technical guidance and supervision by a group of designated expert advisers (SOC Advisory Group) is proposed.
