Abstract

The climate is one of the key elements impacting several cycles connected to soil and plant systems, as well as plant production, soil quality, and environmental quality. Due to heightened human activity, the rate of CO2 is rising in the atmosphere. Changing climatic conditions (such as temperature, CO2, and precipitation) influence plant nutrition in a range of ways, comprising mineralization, decomposition, leaching, and losing nutrients in the soil. Soil carbon sequestration plays an essential function—not only in climate change mitigation but also in plant nutrient accessibility and soil fertility. As a result, there is a significant interest globally in soil carbon capture from atmospheric CO2 and sequestration in the soil via plants. Adopting effective management methods and increasing soil carbon inputs over outputs will consequently play a crucial role in soil carbon sequestration (SCseq) and plant nutrition. As a result, boosting agricultural yield is necessary for food security, notoriously in developing countries. Several unanswered problems remain regarding climate change and its impacts on plant nutrition and global food output, which will be elucidated over time. This review provides several remarkable pieces of information about the influence of changing climatic variables on plant nutrients (availability and uptake). Additionally, it addresses the effect of soil carbon sequestration, as one of climate change mitigations, on plant nutrition and how relevant management practices can positively influence this.

Highlights

  • Human activity elevates the atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases (GHGs), causing the warming of the planet’s surface and a change in the climate [1,2,3]

  • Changes in CO2 levels in the atmosphere, temperature, and precipitation have a direct effect on agroecosystems (Figure 1), agroecosystems account for almost one-third of overall GHG emissions, owing mostly to N fertilizers, livestock, and rice cultivation, and tropical deforestation [1,2]

  • Long-term fertilization normally increases organic C input via the roots, crop residues, and manure, while soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition is likely enhanced as a result of the initial effect forced by microbial utilization of C exudated by plant roots [49]

Summary

Introduction

Human activity elevates the atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases (GHGs), causing the warming of the planet’s surface and a change in the climate [1,2,3]. Many soluis a result of human activity is linked to strong and perhaps catastrophic tions for dealing withwith soil misuse or degradation couldcould help help with with. Soil nutrients are prethe impacts of climate are mitigated served and the impactschange of climate change are mitigated [6]. SOC is critical for enhancing fertility or quality is the amount of soil organic carbon (SOC) [9,10]. SOC dynamics in different fractions are influenced mostly by the chemical structure of organic inputs and the availability of soil nutrients, as they both play a role in controlling microbial metabolism. Conserving or enhancing SOC stock in agricultural soil is a crucial part of sustainable land management for both agronomic and environmental reasons [10,11]. This review highlights the two most significant issues; (1) the influence of climate change on the availability and uptake of plant nutrients; and (2) the influence of SCseq on enhancing plant nutrition uptake
