Mayer, A.; Hausfather, Z.; Jones, A. D.; Silver, Whendee L. (2018): The potential of agricultural land management to contribute to lower global surface temperatures. In: Science Advances 4 (8), eaaq0932. DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aaq0932.
„We show that sequestration of 0.68 Pg C year−1 for 85 years could lower global temperature by 0.1°C in 2100 when combined with a low emission trajectory [Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 2.6]. This value is potentially achievable using existing agricultural management approaches, without decreasing land area for food production. Existing agricultural mitigation approaches could lower global temperature by up to 0.26°C under RCP 2.6 or as much as 25% of remaining warming to 2°C.“
