• Carbon emission from farm operations. (2004, background): “Consequently, eroded soils are characterized by lower SOC pool than uneroded soils (Lal, 2000, 2003).”
• Managing Soils and Ecosystems for Mitigating Anthropogenic Carbon Emissions and Advancing Global Food Security (2010, background): “Such knowledge is essential to more accurate predictions of atmospheric concentration of CO2, and of the fluxes between the terrestrial pools and the atmosphere (Houghton 2007) and the hydrosphere (Lal 2003).”
• Soils and food sufficiency. A review (2011, background): “In contrast, others hypothesize that C transported into aquatic ecosystems is a major sink (Van Oost et al., 2004), and may account for the so-called missing or fugitive CO2.”
• Estimating the environmental costs of soil erosion at multiple scales in Kenya using emergy synthesis (2006, background): “…1990; Eggermont and Verschuren, 2003), lake/river sediment dynamics (Kelley and Nater, 2000; Walling, 2000), global carbon cycling (Duxbury, 1995; Lal, 2003), aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity (Harvey and Pimentel, 1996; Alin et al., 2002) and ecosystem services (Tinker, 1997; Pimentel and…”
• The potential of pigeonpea ( Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) in Africa (2007, background): “The soils are already depleted (Drechsel et al. , 2001) and the situation is worsened by increasing effects of soil erosion ( Lal, 2003 ) as a result of deforestation (Stiles, 1984).”
• Agricultural opportunities to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. (2007, background): “, reducing tillage increasing soil coverage) also aid in reducing soil erosion, which preferentially removes the SOM-rich top-soil (Cihacek et al., 1993; Gregorich et al., 1998; Lal, 2003).”
• The total costs of soil degradation in England and Wales (2015, background): “Lal (2003) proposed that at a global scale approximately 20% of the soil C that is eroded each year is emitted to the atmosphere as CO2.”
• Soil erosion response to climatic change and human activity during the Quaternary on the Loess Plateau, China (2006, positive): “Furthermore, soil erosion, leading to flood, drought and famine, is considered to be more than a national disaster as a result of threatening food and environmental security worldwide, especially in developing countries (the Soil and Water Conservation Society 2003; Lal 2003).”
• Digging deeper: A holistic perspective of factors affecting soil organic carbon sequestration in agroecosystems (2018, background): “The global C budget may be incomplete because it does not consider the fate of C transported by erosional processes (Lal, 2003).”
