Conversion of lowland tropical forests to tree cash crop plantations loses up to one-half of stored soil organic carbon
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Deforestation for tree cash crop plantations such as oil palm, rubber, and cacao agroforest in the tropics results in strong decreases in soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, with much of this carbon lost through carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions and leaching. We found that SOC stock losses in oil palm, rubber, and cacao agroforestry plantations in Indonesia, Cameroon, and Peru could be predicted by the amount of SOC in the original forests: the more SOC present initially, the more SOC lost after conversion. When natural forests were replaced by tree cash crop plantations, SOC losses of up to 50% were found. We recommend that these SOC losses be incorporated in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change tier 1 method for carbon accounting.

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.
