Abstract

The organic carbon content is an important indicator for characterizing soil health in terms of maintaining environmental sustainability. The capacity of agricultural land to sequester carbon depends on a number of factors and specific management measures adopted at farm level. The present study aimed to identify farmer’s perception regarding the evaluation of the organic carbon storage potential in the agricultural soils of some farms of different economic sizes in the central region of Romania, Cluj County. The results of the study highlight that there is a good understanding of the concept of carbon sequestration, among the specific measures most often are being adopted organic fertilization and the use of cover crops.
