Thermal stability of organic carbon in soil aggregates of maize-wheat system in semi arid India
Understanding the stability and carbon retention ability of aggregates under common cropping sequences is essential to ascertain terrestrial carbon storage. Surface soil samples (0-15 cm) were collected and dry sieved to separate the macro (>250µm) and micro sized aggregates (<250µm). The...
