Assessment of Smart Strategies for Mitigating Climate Change Impacts on agricultural Soils
##plugins.themes.academic_pro.article.main##
Abstract
Climate change poses significant threats to global agriculture productivity, impacting soil health and fertility. It accelerates soil organic carbon loss due to soil degradation while soil carbon increase may lead to a great climate change mitigation potential. Therefore, this review aims to assess smart strategies for mitigating these challenges, focusing on innovative approaches that enhance resilience and sustainability in agricultural systems. This review found that climate-smart soil management strategies such as conservation agriculture and agroforestry strategies have been widely adopted to enhance soil organic carbon sequestration and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while ensuring crop productivity.
