Carbon stabilization involves to capturing carbon from the atmosphere and fix it in the forms soil organic carbon stock for a long period of time, it will be present to escape as a greenhouse gas in the form of carbon dioxide. Soil carbon storage is an important ecosystem service, resulting from interactions of several ecological processes. This process is primarily mediated by plants through photosynthesis, with carbon stored in the form of soil organic carbon. Soil carbon levels have reduced over decades of conversion of pristine ecosystems into agriculture landscape, which now offers the opportunity to store carbon from air into the soil. Carbon stabilization into the agricultural soils is a novel approach of research and offers promising reduction in the atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. This book brings together all aspects of soil carbon sequestration and stabilization, with a special focus on diversity of microorganisms and management practices of soil in agricultural systems. It discusses the role of ecosystem functioning, recent and future prospects, soil microbial ecological studies, rhizosphere microflora, and organic matter in soil carbon stabilization. It also explores carbon transformation in soil, biological management and its genetics, microbial transformation of soil carbon, plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs), and their role in sustainable agriculture. The book offers a spectrum of ideas of new technological inventions and fundamentals of soil sustainability. It will be suitable for teachers, researchers, and policymakers, undergraduate and graduate students of soil science, soil microbiology, agronomy, ecology, and environmental sciences

Dr. Rahul Datta is a soil microbiologist and enzymologist. Dr. Datta holds an MSc and PhD from the Department of Geology and Pedology at Mendel University in Brno, Czech Republic. Dr. Datta's research was focused on understanding the effect of biogenic & xenobiotic substances on microbial metabolism in the soil. Dr. Datta has worked with Dr. Richard Dick at Ohio State University, Ohio, USA as a visiting scientist. He was also invited as a visiting scientist by Prof. Paolo Nannipieri at University of Florence, Italy. Dr Datta has published numerous research articles, published book with a springer, Intech Open and he reviewed 200 papers in peer-reviewed journals.
