MEASURING ABATEMENT POTENTIALS WHEN MULTIPLE CHANGE IS PRESENT: THE CASE OF GREENHOUSE GAS MITIGATION IN U.S. AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY (2002, unknown): “Lal et al. (1998), for example assess the total agricultural soil carbon sequestration potential, but do not specify the cost of achieving such a potential level of sequestration.”
Historical Development and Applications of the EPIC and APEX Models (2004, result): “…Zhao, Kurkalova, and Kling (2004) with the revised EPIC model resulted in an average annual SOC rate of 50.6 g/m2 in response to conservation tillage (mulch till and no-till), which compares favorably with SOC rates reported by Lal et al. (1998) and West and Post (2002) for similar tillage systems.”
Soil Carbon: Policy and Economics (2001, background): “This is the subject covered by Metting et al., this issue, but we list a sample of such practices for the sake of illustration (Lal et al., 1998 present a more extensive list).”
Appraising agricultural greenhouse gas mitigation potentials: effects of alternative assumptions (2006, background): “Collectively, these facts imply that there is substantial potential for AF activities to sequester carbon (Lal et al. 1998).”
Carbon emission from farm operations. (2004, methodology): “Some studies (Lal et al., 1998) have shown that N fertilizer manufacture results in about 0.”
Energy- and greenhouse gas-based LCA of biofuel and bioenergy systems: Key issues, ranges and recommendations (2009, background): “Other studies have also shown that switchgrass grown for biomass feedstock production has the potential to substantially increase soil C levels (Lal et al., 1998; Garten and Wullschleger, 2000; Conant et al., 2001; Zan et al., 2001; Franck et al., 2004).”
Efficiency of Sequestering Carbon in Agricultural Soils (The) (2000, background): “Increasing the adoption of conservation tillage will increase carbon sequestration rates in agricultural soils and decrease the greenhouse gas emissions from the agricultural sector (Lal et al, 1998).”
Tropical agriculture and global warming: impacts and mitigation options (2007, background): “Lal et al. (1998) calculated a C sequestration rate of 0.1 to 0.5 t C ha-1 yr-1 in temperate regions.”
