Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the amount of carbon stored in the soil. SOC releases nutrients for plant growth, enhances the health of soil and acts as a barrier against harmful substances. SOC is being threatened due to the intensification of cropping systems, higher temperatures and changes in rainfall, amongst other aspects. Tillage is one of the main factors contributing to the loss of SOC. However, many farms are now integrating practices that can protect the soil and increase soil organic carbon, helping not only to mitigate climate change but also to improve soil health, structure and fertility and therefore yields.
