Abstract
Administering soil organic carbon (SOC) has now been acknowledged as the most essential aspect for managing the climate change, soil fertility as well as productivity. Various SOC pools and processes govern the SOC dynamics in varied agro-ecosystems. SOC dynamics in soil is manipulated by management practices, soil type, and climate. Perceptions of the different soil C pools and processes are of imperative significance prior to the execution and success of SOC management. Diverse agro-ecological approaches such as organic and integrated plant nutrition system have been proposed across different agroecologies to achieve a balanced SOC dynamics via suitable agro-management, though accepted with limited eagerness.
