• Vegetation composition promotes carbon and nitrogen storage in model grassland communities of contrasting soil fertility (2009, background): “The function of ecosystem C sequestration, in which soils play a central role (Lal 2004;Bardgett,Freeman&Ostle 2008; Smith et al. 2008), is of special importance because it offers ameans to reduce atmospheric CO2 concentrations.”
• Agricultural greenhouse gas mitigation potential globally, in Europe and in the UK: what have we learnt in the last 20 years? (2012, methodology): “These potentials represent mitigation of 5–90% of all other agricultural mitigation measures combined (Smith et al., 2007a, 2008).”
• Greedy or needy? Land use and climate impacts of food in 2050 under different livestock futures (2017, background): “Smith et al. (2008) estimate a technical reduction potential of approximately 20% for these emissions sources and here, in keeping with the study’s other assumptions about technological improvements, we assume that half of this potential can be realized in 2050 i.e. emission factors for N2O and CH4…”
• Climate change adaptation, mitigation and livelihood benefits in coffee production: where are the synergies? (2014, background): “The agricultural sector accounts directly and indirectly for 1/3 of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with 74 % originating in low-and middle-income countries, where smallholders predominate (Smith et al. 2007).”
• Developing greenhouse gas marginal abatement cost curves for agricultural emissions from crops and soils in the UK (2010, background): “It has been estimated that agriculture accounted for 10–12% of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2005 (Smith et al., 2008).”
