Carbon sequestration in the agricultural lands is possible through different soil management strategies and could be substantial with widespread implementation. Sequestration of historic carbon emissions is now essential as mitigation alone is not enough to stabilize our atmosphere. There are numerous management strategies for drawing carbon out of the atmosphere and holding it in the soil. Effectiveness of these strategies vary across different climates, soil types, and geographies. Still, it is a controversy about the durability of sequestration in soil and about the precise conditions that maximize drawdown of carbon emissions. Carbon sequestration in soil is the potential strategy which can reduce or mitigate the impacts of the global warming. The Asian countries are having more than 90% of rice fields, they are being blamed for their contribution in the methane emission and associated climate change. A major part of rice is grown under the continuous submergence condition that may influence the active and passive pools of soil carbon besides methane emission. In this paper we have reviewed the carbon sequestration potential of rice-based soils besides discussion on the mechanisms and strategies that promote accumulation of soil carbon while minimizing carbon emissions. The strategies viz. System of Rice Intensification, Integrated Nutrient Management, promoting mycorrhizal symbiosis in aerobic rice system besides enhancement of phytolith-occluded carbon are some of the key areas facilitating better carbon sequestration in rice ecosystem.
