Influencing the global carbon cycle via modification to terrestrial soil pool has been suggested as one solution help mitigate climate change. Cropping systems cover a vast expanse of earth's surface and represent major exchange point. Investigating management practices biotechnologies capable influencing in cropping is thus valuable endeavour, even modest interventions have capacity increase stocks improve fertility plant production. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are obligate biotrophs forming mutually beneficial relationships with wide array symbiotic partners. Increasingly, AMF being investigated for their potential enhance agricultural productivity through inoculation seeds living propagules or spores. Beyond positive influence on growth resilience, may some several conceptually recognised yet poorly understood mechanisms, warranting further exploration.

Agroforestry systems have gained increasing recognition as sustainable land management solutions that integrate trees, crops, and livestock to enhance biodiversity, improve soil health, mitigate climate change. However, the frequency intensity of wildfires present a significant threat agroforestry landscapes, necessitating development fire-adaptive strategies. This review explores integration smart leverage fire-resistant plant species controlled burning techniques ecosystem resilience long-term sustainability. Fire-resistant serve natural firebreaks, reducing fire propagation risks maintaining stability. Controlled burning, traditional practice, is revisited through advanced monitoring technologies, including remote sensing, IoT-enabled sensors, predictive modeling, optimize burn schedules minimize environmental impact. The study further examines selection criteria for species, highlighting their physiological adaptations, moisture retention capabilities, regenerative properties contribute reduced wildfire susceptibility. Additionally, it assesses role in nutrient cycling, pest control, carbon sequestration while mitigating associated with uncontrolled wildfires. paper also investigates how machine learning AI-driven decision support can prediction, landscape monitoring, real-time adjustments operations. By integrating agroecological principles, precision agriculture techniques, climate-adaptive management, offer viable pathway improving fertility, optimizing storage, sustaining rural livelihoods. Case studies successful implementations across fire-prone regions provide empirical insights into best practices, policy recommendations, socio-economic implications adopting concludes by emphasizing necessity interdisciplinary collaborations among agronomists, ecologists, data scientists, policymakers advance research implementation frameworks climate-smart systems.
