This textbook provides a thorough and systematic understanding of carbon fractions and the laboratory procedures for their estimation. It serves as both a practical lab manual and an educational guide, fostering knowledge dissemination and skill development in soil carbon research. It consolidates all procedures related to soil carbon fractionation, including active-, slow-, and passive-carbon pools into one document, with detailed methodologies. For complete and proper implementation, each method is provided with relevant chemical reactions, principles, and a step-by-step protocol in the form of flowcharts and calculations. This book is designed for streamlining the workflow for soil researchers and reducing preparation time. It promotes high-end carbon analyzers for sustainable, low-waste alternatives to traditional methods, aligning with modern environmental and agricultural resilience goals.This book is exclusively for advanced graduate students and researchers working in the field of soil science and related disciplines.

This book presents recent trends in nanotechnology to manage agroforestry systems. A major focus has been given to green synthesis of nanoparticles, nutrient management, stress management, crop and tree production, and risk assessment for sustainable management of crops and trees using nanomaterials. The book also discusses the complex interactions of nanoparticles in agroforestry ecosystems. It provides an understanding of the nanoparticle transformation process from laboratory to field conditions that will help in technology transfer at a mass scale. Following the excellent contributions from global experts, the book will be very useful for students, scientists, conservationists, growers, and policymakers searching for the challenges and opportunities of nanotechnology in integrated farming systems.
