e0“Sensitivity analyses identified the following factors as the principal controls on rates and amounts of soil carbon sequestration under SRC: carbon inputs (net primary production), decomposition rates of the major soil carbon pools, initial soil carbon content (an inverse relationship with rates of soil carbon sequestration), crop/plantation management, and depth of soil being influenced by the bioenergy crop”

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 Initial soil carbon content had an inverse relationship with sequestration rates.
- Association The authors suggest greater carbon sequestration potential in soils depleted by agricultural use.
