More Carbon Per Drop: An Approach for Enhancing Soil Carbon Sequestration in Arid and Semi-arid Regions
Summary
Increasing C sequestration, in line with 4p1000 initiative goals (decided at COP21 and incorporated into the Paris Agreement), in water-limited environments is challenging because low moisture and associated biophysical constraints limit biomass production. More carbon per drop is an approach to enhance and publish research into increasing SOC sequestration and reducing greenhouse gas emissions while improving water use efficiency and soil water storage in water-limited landscapes.
This Article Collection topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Opportunities and challenges of SOC sequestration in a water-limited environment
- Crop breeding and variety development for improving water use efficiency and carbon sequestration
- Conservation and regenerative farming practices, including no-tillage, reduced tillage, cover cropping, crop rotation, integrated nutrient management, perennial cropping, etc.
- Conversion of annual cropping land to perennial native vegetation
- Techniques to enhance soil water conservation and soil C storage
- Mechanism involving stabilization of C in the landscape
- Sustainable land and water management in degrading drylands to improve water storage
- The social, economic, and cultural challenges of changing management practices for C sequestration
- Better integration of crop-livestock systems to improve carbon input into the soil, especially through reducing grazing pressure
- Policy limitations and guidelines for incentivizing SOC sequestration in water-limited environments
Submissions are due by January 9, 2026
