Existing global comparisons of pasture-finished and grain-finished systems do not account for both carbon opportunity cost and soil carbon sequestration.
“Existing global comparisons of pasture-finished and grain-finished systems are incomplete as they do not account for both carbon opportunity cost and soil carbon sequestration.”

Use of U.S. Croplands for Biofuels Increases Greenhouse Gases Through Emissions from Land-Use Change
Searchinger, T., Heimlich, R., Houghton, R. A., Dong, F., Elobeid, A., Fabiosa, J., Tokgoz, S., Hayes, D., & Yu, T.-H. (2008) · Science · doi:10.1126/science.1151861 · Cited by 4,888 · cited 5× · see citing works
“…(2) is applied, which mirrors approach (4), the time horizon used for allocating emissions from land-use change is normally set to 30 years (Searchinger et al. 2008), which is slightly longer, and thus a more conservative estimate than the 20 years suggested by IPCC for soil carbon…”

Considering Time in LCA: Dynamic LCA and Its Application to Global Warming Impact Assessments

“Although we are aware of recent efforts to include temporal aspects in LCAs (Kendall et al. 2009; Levasseur et al. 2010; O’Hare et al. 2009), we do not include such methods here, as they are less relevant for the (continuous) carbon uptake than for initial emission peaks.”

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.
