Characterization of soil organic matter (SOM) using Solid State NMR

Nikita Rao – @raoniki96

Carbon is increasing in the atmosphere. So, we need better strategies for efficient C sequestration. Soil also stores the carbon in soil organic matter, as soil organic carbon. SOC is decreasing globally. What's going in at the molecular level? #GlobalnmrTC2022 @global_nmr pic.twitter.com/e2EUljRiJ0

Soil is a vital component of our ecosystem and soil organic matter (SOM) is the key to a healthy soil. We aim to improve the sensitivity, resolution and instrumentation of NMR and use the results to study the impact of various environmental and other factors on the soil.
