Soil organic carbon (SOC) balance is an important component of the terrestrial carbon (C) budget. However, effect of cropland management changes on SOC dynamics has not been recently assessed in the tropics.

Les sols contiennent une très grande quantité de carbone, sous forme de matières organiques. Nous avons identifié des pratiques agricoles qui permettraient, sans changement majeur du système de production, d’accroître les stocks de carbone des sols. Nous avons instruit quatre actions : la réduction du travail du sol, l’implantation de davantage de couverts dans les systèmes de culture, le développement de l’agroforesterie et des haies et l’optimisation de la gestion des prairies.
