Developing technologies to slow the rate of increase in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) from annual emissions, such as energy, process industries, land-use change, and soil cultivation, is a major challenge of the twenty-first century. Severe ecological and economic disruptions result from the erratic changes in climate systems caused by the skyrocketing amounts of atmospheric CO2 and other greenhouse gases (GHGs). Through the process of carbon sequestration, net greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced, hence mitigating climate change. Both biotic and abiotic variables can contribute to the long-term sequestration of carbon, or carbon stabilisation. The compilation of past and present methods for sequestering soil organic carbon is crucial, considering the need of measuring and tracking soil carbon at the point, field, regional, and ecosystem levels. This study attempts to provide an overview of the literature about the function of various agricultural management techniques for sequestering carbon and the ways in which they help to stabilize atmospheric carbon.
