Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Predicted soil carbon sequestration in willow plantations was comparable to or greater than natural woodland.
- Observation Model output placed soil carbon sequestration at about 5% of SRC plantation carbon mitigation benefit.
- Association Sensitivity analysis identified carbon inputs, decomposition, initial soil carbon, management and soil depth as principal controls on sequestration.
- Association Initial soil carbon content had an inverse relationship with sequestration rates.
