Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Topsoil total carbon ranged from 0.16 to 0.44%, averaging 0.23%.
- Association Topsoil carbon under trees was 1.04–1.47 times higher than away from trees.
- Observation Tree species differed in their effects on soil properties.
- Association Greater vegetation cover in the Sahel was associated with more soil total carbon, particularly on sandy soils.
- Recommendation The authors recommended matching sites and species in restoration.
