Policy and technological constraints to implementation of greenhouse gas mitigation options in agriculture (2007, methodology): “Other studies have also suggested that the realistically achievable potential is much lower than biophysical potential, due to non-price-determined limitations to implementation including institutional, educational, social and political constraints (Cannell, 2003; European Climate Change Programme, ”
European agricultural landscapes, common agricultural policy and ecosystem services: a review (2013, background): “…functions generalization of these relations and extrapolation to other areas is possible based on simulation models that describe the underlying processes, an example being the calculation of carbon sequestration or soil protection (Dendoncker et al. 2004; Freibauer et al. 2004; Leip et al. 2008).”
Technical and Social Dimensions of Farmer Learning: An Analysis of the Emergence of Reduced Tillage Systems in England (2010, background): “As such, reduced tillage, which potentially reduces the effects of erosion, provides benefits to wildlife, mitigates the effect of agriculture on water quality and provides a sink for carbon has potential to meet a number of policy challenges (Jordan et al. 1997, 2000; Freibauer et al. 2004).”

Greenhouse gas mitigation in agriculture (2008, background): “Emissions on drained organic soils can be reduced to some extent by practices such as avoiding row crops and tubers, avoiding deep ploughing and maintaining a more shallow water table, but the most important mitigation practice, probably, is avoiding the drainage of these soils in the first place, o”
Enhanced top soil carbon stocks under organic farming (2012, background): “(4) estimated a C sequestration potential of organic farming in Europe of 0–500 kg ha y (more than 50% uncertainty) using calculations based on the combination of single practices such as extensification, improved rotations, residue incorporation, and manure use, but excluding zero and reduced tilla”
Prospects for fen meadow restoration on severely degraded fens (2010, background): “The protection of carbon storage in the peat soils may become an increasingly important target for degraded fens (Freibauer et al., 2004; Schulze and Freibauer, 2005).”
Future carbon sequestration in Europe—Effects of land use change (2008, background): “Besides storage of carbon in the soil, forests store large amounts of carbon in biomass (Freibauer et al., 2004).”
The Economics of Climate Change in Southeast Asia: A Regional Review (2009, background): “The sequestration of carbon can be achieved by avoiding the drainage of organic or peaty soils that are known to contain high densities of carbon, or by re-establishing a high water table in the area (Freibauer et al. 2004).”
