Using simulation modeling, these researchers determined that soil organic carbon accumulation can be enhanced if farmers incorporate residue retention and fertilizer application practices and incorporate no-till practices into their crop management strategy. This study implies that exploring different soil management techniques in farming systems could help mitigate global climate change by promoting carbon retention in soil.application/pdfen-USIn CopyrightCarbon sequestrationSoil managementSoil fertilitySoil qualitySoil organic matterSubsistence productionGhanaDirect measurementSimulation modelingSoil organic carbonQuantificationClimate changeCrop residuesResidue retentionFertilizer applicationField ScaleTechnical report
