To evaluate soil physical properties and regenerative agriculture practices in climate-resilient agriculture within the framework of BCI (Better Cotton) standards and regenerative agriculture practices; and to examine their relationships with soil health, carbon sequestration, water management, certain biological activities, and climate change, both theoretically and practically.
The concept of soil health and the principles of regenerative agriculture; soil texture, structure, and aggregate stability; soil organic matter and the carbon cycle; soil water-holding capacity and water efficiency; soil compaction and erosion management; soil biological activity, soil-plant-water-climate interaction; carbon sequestration and climate change; BCI sustainable cotton production standards; soil health indicators and monitoring methods; regenerative agriculture practices (cover cropping, minimum tillage, rotation, etc.), carbon footprint in agricultural production.
