Risk to rely on soil carbon sequestration to offset global ruminant emissions by Yue Wang, Imke J. M. de Boer, U. Martin Persson, Raimon Ripoll-Bosch, Christel Cederberg, Pierre J. Gerber, Pete Smith, Corina E. van Middelaar

“…To understand the potential and limitations of this strategy, we need to acknowledge that soil carbon sequestration is a time-limited benefit, and there are intrinsic differences between short- and long-lived greenhouse gases. …”

Projected soil carbon loss with warming in constrained Earth system models by Shuai Ren, Tao Wang, Bertrand Guenet, Dan Liu, Yingfang Cao, Jinzhi Ding, Pete Smith, Shilong Piao

“…Abstract The soil carbon-climate feedback is currently the least constrained component of global warming projections, and the major source of uncertainties stems from a poor understanding of soil carbon turnover processes. …”

A New Approach Using Modeling to Interpret Measured Changes in Soil Organic Carbon in Forests; The Case of a 200 Year Pine Chronosequence on a Podzolic Soil in Scotland by Rita Ražauskaitė, Elena Vanguelova, Thomas Cornulier, Pete Smith, Tim Randle, Jo U. Smith

“…Our simulations suggest that afforestation of grasslands would increase overall soil carbon stocks but may deplete the more stable carbon pools in the deeper mineral horizons of the podzols.…”

Negative emissions—Part 2: Costs, potentials and side effects by Sabine Fuss, William F Lamb, Max W Callaghan, Jérôme Hilaire, Felix Creutzig, Thorben Amann, Tim Beringer, Wagner de Oliveira Garcia, Jens Hartmann, Tarun Khanna, Gunnar Luderer, Gregory F Nemet, Joeri Rogelj, Pete Smith, José Luis Vicente Vicente, Jennifer Wilcox, Maria del Mar Zamora Dominguez, Jan C Minx

“…In part 1 of this three-part review on NETs, we assemble a comprehensive set of the relevant literature so far published, focusing on seven technologies: bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), afforestation and reforestation, direct air carbon capture and storage (DACCS), enhanced weathering, ocean fertilisation, biochar, and soil carbon sequestration. In this part, part 2 of the review, we present estimates of costs, potentials, and side-effects for these technologies, and qualify them with the authors’ assessment. …”
