Soil organic carbon fractions, soil microbial biomass carbon, and enzyme activities impacted by crop rotational diversity and conservation tillage in north west IGP: A review

Soil organic carbon (SOC) and its fractions (labile and non-labile) including particulate organic carbon (POC) and its components [coarse POC and fine POC], light fraction organic carbon (LFOC), readily oxidizable organic carbon, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) are important for sustainability of any agricultural production system as they govern most of the soil properties, and hence soil quality and health.
