Management practices can enhance the sequestration of C in soil include additions of organic materials such as composts, biosolids and animal manures, reduced tillage, cover cropping, crop rotation, Biological N fixation by legumes, high root biomass crops and varieties, avoiding fallow, application of recommended nutrients and application of biochar to soil. |
