In the citing paper
“Soils with higher BD and lower SOC content are likely to have higher saturation deficit (Six, Conant, Paul, & Paustian, 2002)-the difference between maximum and minimum SOC that could be achieved-and thus may have higher potential to increase the SOC stocks (Vicente-Vicente, Gómez-Muñoz, Hinojosa-Centeno, Smith, & Garcia-Ruiz, 2017).”
From Changes in soil organic carbon under perennial crops (2020) · cites this paper as Six, Conant, Paul, & Paustian, 2002
In the citing paper
“Both the unprotected and protected POM in microaggregates are the most sensitive C fractions to management practices and landuse change (Six et al., 2002).”
From Carbon sequestration potential in perennial bioenergy crops: the importance of organic matter inputs and its physical protection (2016) · cites this paper as Six et al., 2002
In the citing paper
“The continuous plant input and the minimal soil disturbance under bioenergy perennial crops led to an increase in the C content of the particulate organic matter (POM) fraction after 6 years of the establishment (Fig. 2), confirming previous evidences that POM-C fraction is the most prone to land-use change (Six et al., 2002;De Gryze et al., 2004).”

In the citing paper
“Usually, soils with lower soil organic matter content benefit more from organic amendment, in net primary production and improvement in soil properties, than those with higher contents.”
From The role of organic amendments in soil reclamation: A review (2012) · cites this paper as Six et al. 2002
In the citing paper
“According to the carbon saturation theory, soils with low soil organic carbon content would have a greater carbon stabilization efficiency than those with higher contents (Six et al. 2002).”
From The role of organic amendments in soil reclamation: A review (2012) · cites this paper as Six et al. 2002
In the citing paper
“The long-term C sequestration potential of soils is also affected by soil properties such as texture, and some will saturate at higher SOC levels than others (Six et al. 2002).”

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.
