  abstract = {{T}his paper serves two purposes: it provides a summarized scientific history of carbon sequestration in relation to the soil-plant system and gives a commentary on organic wastes and {SOC} sequestration. {T}he concept of soil organic carbon ({SOC}) sequestration has its roots in: (i) the experimental work of {L}undegardh, particularly his in situ measurements of {CO}2 fluxes at the soil-plant interface (1924, 1927, 1930); (ii) the first estimates of {SOC} stocks at the global level made by {W}aksman [{W}aksman, {S}.{A}., 1938. {H}umus. {O}rigin, {C}hemical {C}omposition and {I}mportance in {N}ature, second ed. revised. {W}illiams and {W}ilkins, {B}altimore, p. 526] and {R}ubey [{R}ubey, {W}. {W}., 1951. {G}eologic history of sea water. {B}ulletin of the {G}eological {S}ociety of {A}merica 62, 1111-1148]; (iii) the need for models dealing with soil organic matter ({SOM}) or {SOC} dynamics beginning with a conceptual {SOM} model by {D}e {S}aussure (1780-1796) followed by the mathematical models of {J}enny [{J}enny, {H}., 1941. {F}actors of {S}oil {F}ormation: a {S}ystem of {Q}uantitative {P}edology. {D}over {P}ublications, {N}ew {Y}ork, p. 288], {H}enin and {D}upuis [{H}enin, {S}., {D}upuis, {M}., 1945. {E}ssai de bilan de la matiere organique. {A}nnales d'{A}gronomie 15, 17-29] and more recently the {R}oth{C} [{J}enkinson, {D}.{S}., {R}ayner, {J}.{H}., 1977. {T}he turnover of soil organic matter in some of the {R}othamsted classical experiments. {S}oil {S}cience 123 (5), 298-305] and {C}entury [{P}arton, {W}.{J}.. {S}chimel, {D}.{S}., {C}ole, {C}.{V}., {O}jima, {D}.{S}., 1987. {A}nalysis of factors controlling soil organic matter levels in great plains grasslands. {S}oil {S}cience {S}ociety of {A}merica {J}ournal 51 (5), 1173-1179] models. {T}he establishment of a soil {C} sequestration balance is not straightforward and depends greatly on the origin and the composition of organic matter that is to be returned to the system. {W}astes, which are important sources of organic carbon for soils, are taken as an example. {F}or these organic materials the following factors have to be considered: the presence or absence of fossil {C}, the potential of direct and indirect emissions of non-{CO}2 greenhouse gases ({CH}4 and {N}2{O}) following application and the agro-system which is being used as a comparative reference.},
