“…Quantifying and characterizing these pores is essential for understanding processes like water and gas fluxes, chemical transport, and biota movement. Traditional techniques like mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) and nitrogen adsorption isotherms (NAI) can quantify porosity and pore size distribution, but they have limitations in providing information on the three-dimensional (3D) structure of soil pores (Sampurno et al, 2016). Advanced imaging methods have been proposed for pore analysis, but these methods have limitations in providing information on the three-dimensional (3D) structure of soil pores.…”

Purpose: The study investigates soil pores' impact on carbon dynamics and sequestration processes, examining their physical and chemical characteristics and their mechanisms for carbon sequestration.Research Method: Existing literature and research on soil pores, carbon dynamics, and carbon sequestration are analyzed. The interrelationships between soil pore structure, water movement, microbial activity, root penetration, carbon input, soil aggregation, and gas exchange are examined. Traditional techniques and advanced imaging methods are used to quantify and characterize soil pores.Findings: Soil pores play a critical role in facilitating carbon sequestration through various mechanisms. They affect water movement, microbial activity, root penetration, carbon input, soil aggregation, and gas exchange. Understanding these relationships is crucial for sustainable soil management.Research Limitations: This study relies on existing literature and research, which may have limitations and uncertainties. Further research is needed to address these gaps and enhance understanding.Originality Value: This research enhances the existing knowledge by comprehensively examining the significance of soil pores in carbon dynamics and sequestration. It incorporates both traditional and advanced methods, providing insights for soil management and contributing to climate change mitigation efforts.
