  • The potential of soil C sequestration of woody bioenergy crops due to leaf-litter accumulation on the soil surface has been highlighted by several authors, but few works have provided a direct comparison between herbaceous and woody crops in terms of SOC stock variations.

    “The potential of soil C sequestration of woody bioenergy crops due to leaf-litter accumulation on the surface of the soil has been highlighted by several authors (Rytter 2012;Vesterdal et al., 2013;Hangs et al., 2014), but few works have provided a direct comparison between herbaceous and woody crops in terms of SOC stock variations.”
  • Data for carbon inputs from belowground biomass are difficult to interpret, especially for roots, because they are based on many single observations rather than time series.

    “Data for C inputs from BGB are difficult to interpret, especially for roots because they are based on many single observations [45, 61, 62, 64, 80] rather than time series [26, 32, 81–83].”
  • Variable fractions of willow biomass can be found belowground dependent on stand age and soil texture; 48-58% of total biomass was allocated in the first year and 40% in succeeding years.

    “Variable fractions of willow biomass can be found belowground dependent on stand age and soil texture [58]; 48–58 % of total biomass was allocated in the first year and 40 % allocated in succeeding years [26].”
  • Observed litter inputs in short-rotation woody crops increase with stand age, which is not reflected in long-term extrapolations.

    “Consistent across species and different locations, observed inputs seem to increase with stand age [60, 78], which is not reflected in long-term extrapolations [26].”
  • About 20% of short-rotation coppice poplar biomass was allocated to structural roots, which may contribute significantly to biomass carbon, while fine roots contribute to soil organic carbon due to faster turnover.

    “It was suggested that about 20 % of SRC poplar biomass was allocated to structural roots [95] which may contribute significantly to biomass C, whilst fine roots contribute to SOC due to their faster turnover compared to structural components [26, 82].”

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.
