Global change pressures on soils from land use and management (2016, background): “Baker et al. (2007) found that total soil carbon was similar in nontill and conventional systems, suggesting that carbon accumulation is occurring at different depths in the soil profile under different management schemes.”
Soil “Ecosystem” Services and Natural Capital: Critical Appraisal of Research on Uncertain Ground (2016, background): “However, research carried out a decade ago, in particular by Baker et al. (2007) suggests that a much thicker layer of soil, of the order of a meter, needs to be considered to obtain meaningful data.”
Soil carbon changes under Miscanthus driven by C4 accumulation and C3 decompostion – toward a default sequestration function (2014, background): “Furthermore, little is known about SOC dynamics below the top 30 cm of the soil, while there is rising evidence that LUC also affects subsoil carbon stocks (Baker et al., 2007; Wright et al., 2007; Poeplau & Don, 2013).”
Agricultural opportunities to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. (2007, methodology): “The assumptions underlying soil C sequestration with conservation tillage were questioned by Baker et al. (2007), because most studies measured soil C sequestration within the surface of 30 cm only.”
Sustainable intensification in agricultural systems. (2014, background): “There is also a need for more evidence on the precise implications of improved land management across agricultural sectors and agroecosystems (e.g. Morgan et al., 2010), using appropriate soil sampling strategies (Baker et al., 2007) and standardized methodologies (Derpsch, 2014).”
An integrative modeling framework to evaluate the productivity and sustainability of biofuel crop production systems (2010, background): “We remain aware, however, of the ongoing debate whether no-till practices lead (Puget et al., 2005; Calegari et al., 2008; Senthilkumar et al., 2010) or not lead (Baker et al., 2007; Gal et al., 2007; Blanco-Canqui & Lal, 2008) to soil C sequestration.”
