Patil & Khaladkar (2026): Bamboo for soil conservation and carbon sequestration: a dual approach to climate mitigation

Sonal Patil and Hrishikesh Khaladkar, IN: CAB Reviews, https://doi.org/10.5555/20260362810

Soil erosion and climate change are two interconnected environmental challenges that threaten ecosystems, agricultural productivity and global sustainability. Bamboo, a fast-growing perennial grass with dense root systems and high biomass turnover, offers a unique dual solution by stabilizing soil and sequestering carbon. This review synthesizes existing research on bamboo’s role in controlling soil erosion, enhancing soil health, and capturing carbon in above-ground biomass, below-ground biomass and soil organic carbon pools.
