Abstract: | Background Changes in agricultural practices-notably changes in crop varieties, application of fertilizer and manure, rotation and tillage
practices-influence how much and at what rate carbon is stored in, or released from, soils. Quantification of the impacts
of land use on carbon stocks in sub-Saharan Africa is challenging because of the spatial heterogeneity of soil, climate, management
conditions, and due to the lack of data on soil carbon pools of most common agroecosystems. This paper provides data on soil
carbon stocks that were collected at 10 sites in southeastern Nigeria to characterize the impact of soil management practices. |
