Soils, as the largest pool of organic carbon (C) in terrestrial ecosystems, play a crucial role in climate change adaptation and mitigation. Political and societal expectations are high, anticipating that sustainable agricultural practices can universally enhance C storage in soils. However, in reality, the organic C sequestration potential of soils and its impact on climate mitigation varies significantly depending on local climate, soil types, and management practices. In this session, we demonstrate and discuss the significance of a locally contextualized approach, using European managed mineral and organic soils as examples, to achieve a more carbon-neutral and climate-resilient agriculture.
