Soil carbon sequestration benefits of active versus natural restoration vary with initial carbon content and soil layer
Active restoration of croplands more strongly enhances soil carbon relative to natural regeneration in carbon-poor soils and topsoil layers, while natural regeneration performs better in carbon-rich soils and subsoil layers, suggests a large-scale paired comparison of two restoration strategies.
