The scientific literature is mixed on SOC responses to rotational grazing: some studies show positive responses, many show no significant difference, and a few suggest a slight negative response.
“The scientific literature is decidedly mixed with some studies showing positive SOC responses to rotational grazing (e.g. [56], [57]), many showing no significant difference (e.g. [28], [29]) and a few suggesting a slight negative SOC response (e.g. [27], [58]).”

Adaptive multi-paddock grazing can improve animal and forage productivity and potentially sequester more soil organic carbon than continuous grazing.
“By managing for more optimal forage growth and recovery, adaptive multi-paddock (AMP) grazing can improve animal and forage productivity, potentially sequestering more soil organic carbon (SOC) than continuous grazing.”

Our estimated sequestration rate (3.59 Mg C ha-1 yr-1) is considerably greater than the mean C sequestration rate of 0.41 Mg C ha-1 yr-1 for 'management intensive grazing' in the Southeastern U.S. cited by Conant et al. (2003).

Teague et al. (2016) estimated that AMP grazing could induce SOC sequestration rates 10 times greater than the commonly used default value of 0.41 Mg C ha-1 yr-1 proposed by Conant et al. (2003).
“For instance, Teague et al. (2016) estimated that AMP grazing could induce SOC sequestration rates 10 times greater than the commonly used default value of 0.41 Mg C ha -1 yr -1 proposed by Conant et al. (2003).”

Because soils further from C saturation accumulate C faster than soils near saturation, and because our estimated soil C sequestration rate is much greater than 0.41 Mg C ha-1 yr-1, we expect continued sequestration, likely to diminish over time.
“However, because soils that are further from C saturation will accumulate C faster than soils near saturation, and because our estimated soil C sequestration rate is much greater than the 0.41 Mg C ha -1 yr -1 indicated by Conant et al. (2003), we expect continued sequestration, likely to diminish over time (Minasny et al., 2017;Stewart et al., 2007).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
