Enhancing Carbon Sequestration and Soil Fertility Through Agroforestry: A Sustainable Land Management Approach

Introduction Carbon (C) is a fundamental component of all living organisms and plays a crucial role in sustaining life on Earth. It exists in various forms, including soil organic matter, plants, animals, geological deposits, atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), and dissolved in seawater. Increasing interest in diverse land-use systems for their potential to stabilize atmospheric CO2 levels, mitigate CO2 emissions, and enhance carbon sequestration. Agroforestry is recognized as a viable approach for both reducing CO2 emissions and enhancing carbon sinks.
