Abstrakt:	The article discusses the importance of soil carbon sequestration (SCS) as a tool to mitigate climate change. The authors estimate that agricultural soils have the potential to sequester 3-14 Gt CO2/year by 2050 through SCS practices. They emphasize that SCS should be implemented alongside emission reductions in all sectors. The article also highlights the need for better estimates of biomass availability for SCS practices and acknowledges the variability in carbon loss and saturation levels. The authors argue that undervaluing the potential of SCS can lead to inaction on climate change. [Extracted from the article]
