PDF-Ameliorating the Effects of Climate Change with Soil C

comau Abstract This paper explains how atmospheric carbon is intr oduced into the soil and how it stored in stable forms It identifies the farming techniques that are responsible for the decline in soil carbon and gives alternative organic farming pr. This is particularly relevant in several of the worlds major food pr oducing regions including temperate Asia China Northern India Sub Saharan No rth and Southern Africa Southern North America the temperate and subtropical regions of South America M Catherine .
