Abstract

Soils contribute to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals through carbon sequestration. By enhancing soil health and fertility, soils can play a crucial role in climate action, land degradation neutrality, and alleviating hunger. The present study provides a spatially explicit report on the state of grassland soils and can be used as a baseline for future work to explore the impacts of livestock management on soil carbon at regional, country and farm levels. Assessing the current state of grassland systems and their potential to sequester carbon in the soil is of key importance to understand the trade-offs between grassland services on food security, biodiversity conservation and climate mitigation.

  • The estimated C-sequestration potential in global grasslands is 0.6-2.2 Gt annually for a few decades.

    “This is unlikely given the estimated C-sequestration potential in global grasslands of 0.6-2.2 Gt annually for a few decades35,41.”

    Section 4.3 estimates that grassland soils could reach about 17% of a 3.5 Gt C/year target—approximately 0.6 Gt C/year. Section 2.5 models sequestration after 20 years of improved management. Our copy does not support the upper estimate of 2.2 Gt C/year, so it does not establish the quoted range. (LLM, conf=0.87)

  • A SOC increase of 50 t ha−1 seems rather challenging and might be rarely reached.

    “It is worth emphasizing that, compared with the findings from other studies which investigated soil C-sequestration potential34,35, a SOC increase of 50 t ha−1 seems to be rather challenging and might be rarely reached.”

  • East Europe shows the smallest gap between current SOC stock and required C-sequestration in grasslands.

    “East Europe shows the smallest gap between current SOC stock and required C-sequestration in grasslands (Figs. 4b, c) but is reported to have a negligible sequestration potential in grassland soils35.”

  • Estimations of the extent of grasslands globally and their current SOC stocks vary across studies due to the definition of grasslands and data uncertainties.

    “Estimation of the extent of grasslands globally and their current SOC stocks vary across studies due to the definition of grasslands and data uncertainties35,38,39.”

    From Risk to rely on soil carbon sequestration to offset global ruminant emissions (2023) · cites this paper as [35]

  • The current SOC stock in those grasslands is highly uncertain and is sensitive to methodological choices such as definition and extent of grassland, depth of soil, and year of study.

    “For instance, the current SOC stock in those grasslands is highly uncertain and is sensitive to methodological choices (e.g., definition and extent of grassland, depth of soil, year of study)35,51.”

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.
