Table 4.

Global warming potential (GWP) over a 15 year crop lifetime of the estimated carbon costs associated with the Miscanthus production chain, predicted difference in soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks (compared to a grassland counterfactual), and estimated increases in soil nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions related to the land conversion and reversion

Cost association GWP (g CO2‐eq) GWP (sum, g CO2‐eq)
Production chain (Hastings et al., 2017) 4  
Difference in SOC 5 9
Establishment N2O (Holder et al., 2019) 1 10
Reversion N2O (McCalmont et al., 2018) 1 11
