Soil organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen (N) are key components of soil fertility and play a central role in regulating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Their interaction controls microbial activity, nutrient availability, and the release of gases such as carbon dioxide (CO₂), nitrous oxide (N₂O), and methane (CH₄). This article explains the relationship between SOC and nitrogen in simple yet scientific terms, highlighting how soil processes influence climate change. It also discusses practical management strategies that help improve soil health while reducing emissions, making agriculture more sustainable and climate-resilient.
