The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Negative emissions—Part 3: Innovation and upscaling (2018, background): “Recurring R&D topics in prominent articles include: the amount of soil carbon retained by agricultural practices (Piccoli et al 2016), the corresponding amount lost (Sanderman et al 2017), and the impacts of tillage (Sohi et al 2010).”
Global stocks and capacity of mineral-associated soil organic carbon (2022, neutral): “rainforest; (5) temperate seasonal forest; (6) woodland/shrubland; (7) temperate grassland/desert; (8) boreal forest; and (9) tundra.”
Digging deeper: A holistic perspective of factors affecting soil organic carbon sequestration in agroecosystems (2018, background): “Credible estimates of the historic C loss from soil and vege- tation, as provided by several researchers (Houghton, 1999; Sander- man et al., 2017; Scharlemann, Tanner, Hiederer, & Kapos, 2014), are pertinent to understanding and managing the SOC stock and to improving soil attributes (Marques,…”
