- Abstract
The article "Climate change mitigation through soil carbon sequestration in working lands: A reality check" questions the validity and realism of claims made by Almaraz et al. regarding the potential magnitude of soil carbon sequestration (SCS) in agricultural soils. The authors argue that Almaraz et al. overestimate the availability of organic matter for compost and biochar, inaccurately interpret carbon sequestration rates, and make premature assumptions about the applicability of enhanced rock weathering. They emphasize the need for realistic evaluations of the limitations and trade-offs of SCS practices and caution against overly optimistic estimates that can mislead policymakers. The authors declare no conflicts of interest.
