Abstract
BURBANO ORJUELA, Hernán. The soil organic carbon and its role on climate change. Rev. Cienc. Agr. [online]. 2018, vol.35, n.1, pp.82-96. ISSN 0120-0135. https://doi.org/10.22267/rcia.183501.85.
Climate change, one of the most important global challenges, is an unavoidable problem for society. Soil, among other alternatives, can play a role mitigating the detrimental effects of CO2-driven climate change. In this article, I discuss soil’s potential to store carbon in the context of the carbon cycle and its possible role on the modulation of climate change. Finally, I explain a global initiative of soil management as an approach to mitigate climate change.
