“…In 2014, man-made carbon emissions rose by 10 Pg yr –1 4 . As carbon sinks, soils can contribute to reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and the greenhouse effect 5 . Over 10 million hectares (M ha) of the Indian Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGPs) are covered by the rice–wheat crop rotation, which accounts for 85% of the country's grain production and provides a foundation for millions of food consumers and producers.…”

In the plains of western North India, traditional rice and wheat cropping systems (RWCS) consume a significant amount of energy and carbon. In order to assess the long-term energy budgets, ecological footprint, and greenhouse gas (GHG) pollutants from RWCS with residual management techniques, field research was conducted which consisted of fourteen treatments that combined various tillage techniques, fertilization methods, and whether or not straw return was present in randomized block design. By altering the formation of aggregates and the distribution of carbon within them, tillage techniques can affect the dynamics of organic carbon in soil and soil microbial activity. The stability of large macro-aggregates (> 2 mm), small macro-aggregates (2.0–2.25 mm), and micro-aggregates in the topsoil were improved by 35.18%, 33.52%, and 25.10%, respectively, over conventional tillage (0–20 cm) using tillage strategies for conservation methods (no-till in conjunction with straw return and organic fertilizers). The subsoil (20–40 cm) displayed the same pattern. In contrast to conventional tilling with no straw returns, macro-aggregates of all sizes and micro-aggregates increased by 24.52%, 28.48%, and 18.12%, respectively, when conservation tillage with organic and chemical fertilizers was used. The straw return (aggregate-associated C) also resulted in a significant increase in aggregate-associated carbon. When zero tillage was paired with straw return, chemical, and organic fertilizers, the topsoil's overall aggregate-associated C across all aggregate proportions increased. Conversely, conventional tillage, in contrast to conservation tillage, included straw return as well as chemical and organic fertilizers and had high aggregate-associated C in the subsurface. This study finds that tillage techniques could change the dynamics of microbial biomass in soils and organic soil carbon by altering the aggregate and distribution of C therein.

“…l * 3 When grown in the presence of CO, Clostridium welchii synthesizes lactic acid as the fermentation product. 114 In the presence of S0 4 ~2 or benzyl viologen as the oxidant, cell free extracts of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans are able to convert CO to CO 2 . 115 ' 116 There is also some indication that Pseudomonas aeruginosa, when suspended in aqueous media lacking carbonaceous substrates, utilizes CO. 117 It has been suggested that the CO produced by fires in underground mines may be eliminated, i.e., consumed, by the microbiota of the waters and sludges in the mines.…”
