- •
Single value carbon management index (CMI) was developed in the Indian Himalayas.
- •
Significant positive relationships were found between CMI and crop yields.
- •
Significant negative relationships were observed between CMI and soil loss.
- •
Minimum tillage, weed mulching with grassed buffer strips was best soil erosion control method.
- •
The single value CMI could potentially be used for soil degradation assessment.
