Reply letter to Munoz et al. ‘on the importance of time in carbon sequestration in soils and climate change mitigation’— Keep carbon sequestration terminologies consistent and functional.
Munoz et al. (2024) raised concerns regarding our recent contribution and the definition of the term C sequestration in soils (Don et al., 2024). We performed a review and therefore based our analysis on existing definitions of C sequestrations, mainly by the IPCC. We recommend sticking with terminologies around C sequestration and climate mitigation, as outlined in our review, in order to keep it consistent and manageable.
