About the Book

The contributed volume assimilates the knowledge, experience, and exciting aspects of soil carbon research in the Indian Himalayan region. It includes different aspects and factors associated with soil carbon sequestration in the region, one of the biodiversity hot spots and highly vulnerable to climatic change impacts. Information on different aspects of soil organic carbon dynamics concerning adaptive land management practices and anthropogenic impacts is covered. Further topics include applying advanced tools and techniques to soil carbon vis-a-vis soil erosion research. This book is of interest to researchers and policymakers involved in soil carbon research and offer ideas to enhance the soil carbon in the region concerned. In addition, the book will provide up-to-date information for researchers interested in soil carbon research for the maintenance of soil quality and fertility in the climate-vulnerable Indian Himalayan region.

He is a soil scientist and his research interests include soil quality assessment, sustainable land management, digital soil mapping, soil carbon dynamics and carbon modeling at the regional level. Krishna Giri is presently working as Scientist-D in the Centre of Excellence on Sustainable Land Management at the Indian Council of Forestry Research and Education, Dehradun, India, and did  M. Sc. and Ph.D. in Environmental Science from G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand, India. He has worked on Soil Microbiology associated with Shifting Cultivation Land use systems, soil microbiome analysis of Himalayan Alder-based agroforestry, and other traditional farming systems in Nagaland state. Arun Jyoti Nath is an Associate Professor of Ecology and Environmental Science at the Assam University. He is an ecologist with a diverse experience in research and teaching. He has over 15 years’ experience in carbon dynamics research. His research interest includes mitigation, sustainability, ecosystem carbon dynamics at regional, and landscape scale. Dr. Nath has authored more than 100 scientific, technical, and educational publications. Rosa Francaviglia, with expertise in agronomy, is a senior researcher at the Councilfor Agricultural Research and Economics, Research Centre for Agriculture and Environment, in Rome, Italy, since 1981 (now retired). Her main research topics include the effectsof climate change on agriculture, carbon sinks and agricultural soils, soil organic carbon simulationmodels, soil fertility, conservation agriculture, crop diversification, agro-environmental evaluations, soil quality indicators, and good agro-environmental conditions (GAEC) under the EU Common Agricultural Policy.
