TLDR
In this article, the authors conducted a meta-analysis to derive a carbon response function describing soil organic carbon (SOC) stock changes as a function of time and estimated a potential global SOC sequestration of 0.03% of the direct annual greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture.About:
