Clarifying confusions over carbon conclusions: antecedent soil carbon drives gains realised following intervention by Albert Muleke, Matthew Tom Harrison, Rowan Eisner, Maria Yanotti, Peter de Voil, Shah Fahad, Wang Fei, Puyu Feng, Carla Ferreira, Daniel Forster, Xionghui Gao, Ke Liu, Jianguo Man, Lixiao Nie, Jiangwen Nie, Zhiming Qi, Narasinha Shurpali, Weilu Wang, Rui Yang, Xiaogang Yin, Feng Zhang, Yunbo Zhang, Jin Zhao

“…We contend that (1) management interventions primarily impacted SOC in the soil surface (0–30 cm) and had de minimus impact on deep SOC stocks (30–100 cm), (2) crop rotations including wheat, canola and faba beans were more conducive to improvement in SOC stocks, (3) scenarios with high status quo SOC had little impact on crop productivity, and not necessarily the lowest GHG emissions intensity, (4) productivity and GHG emissions intensity were largely a function of the quantum of nitrogenous fertiliser added, rather than SOC stocks, and (5) aspirations for improving SOC are likely to be futile if antecedent SOC stocks are already high (4–5 %). …”
