Perennials have potential additional plant inputs from management interventions such as pruning and on-site retention of litter.
“Perennials not only produce more plant residue than annual crops (Ferchaud et al., 2016) but also have the potential additional plant inputs from management interventions such us pruning and on-site retention of litter (Ledo et al., 2018).”

Perennials are disturbed usually only at the beginning of the life cycle and not during.
“Perennials, in contrast, are disturbed usually only at the beginning of the life cycle and not during (Ledo et al., 2018), thus potentially avoiding SOC lost by mechanical soil treatments.”

Burning trees at the end of the crop cycle results in net GHG emissions.
“Plant residue management is also important, that is, burning tress at the end of the crop cycle results in net GHG emissions (Ledo et al., 2018).”

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.
