Summary

from summary: "The significance of soils in sequestering greenhouse gases and reducing global warming may be greater due to C sequestration as inorganic C. Soil IC is a sink for atmospheric CO 2 , which may be more resistant to cropping and tillage effects on sequestered soil C and is likely to persist for decades and perhaps centuries after sequestration."
