Ethiopia is among the countries vulnerable to impact of climate change due its mostly resilient on rain-fed agriculture, but currently started crop production by irrigation even if it not done in large, and largely rural population. Carbon farming an emerging agricultural practice focused at mitigating increasing carbon sequestration potential farmlands. Both climate-smart agriculture encloses different approaches such as agroforestry, cover cropping, application bio-char no-till farming, all which promotes soil improves health; help capture dioxide from atmosphere store vegetation. This system only mitigates greenhouse gas emission also fortifies ecosystem resilience through enhancement fertility, water retention biodiversity. By incorporating into worldwide action frameworks, landscapes can evolve being major sources gases functioning net sinks. As scalable strategies address change, presents a dual advantage fulfilling pressing requirements reduce atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> levels while promoting sustainable enhancing economies. Climate-smart has emerged paradigm shifting approach aimed improving productivity, adapting evolving climatic conditions, emissions. review accentuates significance crucial strategy for fulfill national determined contributions under Paris agreement, simultaneously bolstering system. scaling up both approaches, attain harmonious equilibrium between food security mitigation; ensuring development rapidly expanding

ABSTRACT Saline soil is an important inorganic carbon pool and highly susceptible to environmental change. The Tarim Basin the largest inland basin around world, with saline land making up approximately 20% of its total area, while few research has been conducted on salt‐affected density distribution in region. To identify effect salinity density, we collected 135 profiles (0–100 cm), calculated organic (SOCD), (SICD), (STCD) their distribution, discussed relationships climate physicochemical properties. Results showed that average STCD, SOCD, SICD at 0–100 cm profile were 25.0, 3.7, 21.3 kg C m −2 , respectively. was 6.30–9.04 times higher than SOCD. vertical SOCD decreased increasing depth, whereas STCD increased. Soil had negative effects by reducing both SICD, impact degrees. Compared non‐salinity, 10.5%, 7.0% 10.5% under light, moderate, severe salinity, Random forest analysis indicated nitrogen content (STN) bulk (BD) most predictor variables for estimating SICD. significant correlation STN BD, resulting a Our findings emphasized reduced mainly reduction stocks increased degree. In addition, mitigation adverse STC could be considered density.

ABSTRACT River valley is traditionally thought a landform with efficient soil carbon accumulation, because it generally low‐lying wetter area relative to surrounding landforms. However, has been less studied in sand‐based river of arid and semi‐arid regions. This study was mainly understand the capacity accumulation Xilin Mongolia Plateau by comparing steppe sandland. We found that storage per unit sequenced > meadow sandland, which inversely associated sand fraction. Soil close mean value three landforms, without significant difference between both. wetland water body were also synthesized at weak accumulation. These results can be concluded had no predominance high‐lying Sand‐based soils are more aerated than loamy clayey soils, their organic easily decomposed. Again, composed silicate; low quantities inorganic carbons further mineralized dissolved erosion valley, respectively. Furthermore, plant productivity, climate, sediment transport, deposition cannot efficiently promote suggest overestimated evaluating

Introduction Maize and peanut intercropping can optimize allocation of rainfall through crop canopies, enhancing resilience to drought. However, the mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear. Methods This study investigates impact strip width on redistribution soil in maize (MS) (PS) monoculture systems, as well systems with configurations 2:2 (M2P2), 4:4 (M4P4), 8:8 (M8P8). Results discussion showed that maize/peanut consistently improved system water use efficiency (WUE) over three-year experiment, M4P4 treatment maintaining highest WUE throughout. Strip significantly influenced stemflow throughfall rows, plant height leaf area playing key roles. Among 17 events studied, rows M2P2, M4P4, M8P8 treatments obtained 17.4%, 10.8%, 5.4% more rainfall, respectively, compared MS. PS, captured by intercropped decreased 20.6%, 13.2%, 7.1%, respectively. An edge effect was observed treatments, increasing 23.7%, 17.8%, 14.6%, 12.2% 10.6% 8.6% (M8P8) Conversely, 18.0%, 16.0%, PS. Overall, our findings suggest optimizing improve both productivity management, offering insights for sustainable agricultural practices regions limited resources.
