Potential Effects of Climate Change on Soil Properties

Climate change is one of the most critical drivers altering soil processes and dis-turbing agroecosystem sustainability worldwide. Rising temperatures, shifting precipitation patterns, and more frequent extreme weather events directly and in-directly affect soil properties. Specifically, climate change impacts soil fertility by accelerating organic matter decomposition, increasing salinization and acidification risks, disrupting nutrient cycles, and undermining microbial activity and soil structure. These changes collectively reduce soil resilience and productivity while intensifying greenhouse gas emissions from soils. This article reviews current knowledge of these impacts and highlights Mitigation strategies such as conserva-tion agriculture, improved nutrient and water management, crop diversification, and soil carbon sequestration to enhance soil stability.
