Abstract
Carbon are critical components of the global cycle and have significant
implications for climate change mitigation and agricultural sustainability.
Carbon enters the soil through various sources such as photosynthesis, plant
debris, soil organic matter, root exudates, sediment accumulation, and rocks
weathering. Soil organic carbons (SOC) consists of different fractions such as
active, slow, and passive carbons. SOC plays a significant role in enhancing
the soil quality, and sustaining and increasing food production in different
ecosystems. Sequestrated carbon is also lost in various forms, which results in
the rise of greenhouse gases that influence global climate change across
various ecosystems. India has distinct ecosystems viz., forests, wetlands,
mangroves and dryland ecosystems. The annual rainfall, soil type, period of
crop, and available water holding capacity of vegetation have pronounced
effects on carbon cycling and its dynamics which vary with each system. Efforts
to enhance carbon stocks in agroecosystems involve implementing sustainable
agricultural practices that promote carbon sequestration and reduce carbon
emission. The objective of this review is to illustrate carbon dynamics and its
sequestration in various ecosystem.
