ABSTRACT

The global climate change is an extraordinary complex phenomenon in earth’s atmosphere. The challenges associated with its change cannot be tackled in isolation, but through integrated efforts, taking all six spectra together for developing the strategic planning. Logically framed six spectra are planetary physical, EM-nuclear, chemical, biological, pedogenic and anthropogenic spectra. Soil is rather the lowest boundary of the entire earth’s atmosphere excluding the portions covered by oceans. The global climate change is either natural or man-made or evens both. The manmade challenges are manageable with participatory commitments in a planned way on site-specific basis through human intervention, pedogenic exploitation, etc. On soil surface, the role of conservation agriculture as well as horticultural community is of special interest to minimize greenhouse gas emission and for promoting the soil carbon stock. High-density orchards with proper soil management options may be a powerful mitigation option. Microorganisms may play vital role in synthesizing biofuels and C-sequestration. However, there are controversies in defining each spectrum in terms of mitigation.
