Due to the facts that soil is the largest terrestrial carbon pool (2,500 Gt) and that soil organic carbon (SOC) has a strong impact on climate changes, an increasing interest and new approaches to SOC pools and dynamics have been noted in recent years. Many new SOC-related investigations and analytical methods have appeared. These investigations are predominantly focused on carbon sequestration aspects, climatic change mitigation, effects of land use change and SOC pools analyzing. Current practices which lead to SOC concentration and SOC stock decrease are unpopular because of their negative effect on global warming and soil degradation. On the other hand, carbon sequestration options cited in this paper are good practical, experimentally-friendly experiences which help to conserve the present and increase the future SOC levels.
