Soil carbon dynamics and CO₂ emissions in corn-soybean rotation systems

Abstract

This review explores soil carbon dynamics and carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions in corn-soybean rotation systems, a common agricultural practice. The paper examines the factors influencing soil carbon storage and CO₂ emissions, including tillage practices, crop residue management, soil properties, and environmental conditions. Emphasizing the significance of sustainable practices, this review synthesizes current research findings and offers insights into managing soil carbon for improved agricultural productivity and climate change mitigation.
