The potential of soil organic carbon sequestration for climate change mitigation and food security by Frank, Stefan, Havlík, Petr, Soussana, Jean-Francois, Wollenberg, Eva Karoline, Obersteiner, Michael

“…In total, the SOC sequestration potential in 2050 could offset around 7% of total emissions in 2010 (IPCC, 2014). SOC sequestration would occur mainly through improved cropland and grassland management, but restoration of organic soils and degraded lands is also significant. …”
