This omission of climate-driven uncertainty in carbon stocks is a notable gap that future research should address, ideally through coupling with dynamic global vegetation models or Earth system models. Second, our study has not captured the reversibility of carbon sinks from soil carbon sequestration (SCS), in other words the potential for SOC to become a source post reaching the steady-state condition has not been examined.
