Just finished skim reading this study on urban lawns and grasslands soil carbon sequestration. It is an important meta-analysis contributing to addressing urban climate emissions.

"High soil carbon sequestration rates persist several decades in turfgrass systems: A meta-analysis." (OpenAccess)

I did a fair amount of reading on Soil Organic Carbon from turf grasses when I researched my literature review on Synthetic Turf in 2021, and this article pulls a lot of information from numerous studies together..
