Assessing the Impact of Biosaline Technologies on Carbon Sequestration and Soil Properties: A Field Study

Objective

• Assessing the Impact of Biosaline Approaches (including Biochar, Salt-Tolerant Crops, and Halophytes) on Enhancing Soil Carbon Storage.
• Modeling Soil Carbon Dynamics to Forecast Carbon Storage Capacities with Various Biosaline Technologies.
  Exploring the Feasibility of Generating Carbon Credits Using Different Biosaline Methods for Carbon Sequestration.
• Tracking Soil Health Improvements Across Various Biosaline Treatment Methods.
