“…These benefits include improving water quality, soil conservation, and C sequestration, as well as providing wildlife habitat (McLaughlin and Walsh;1998;McLaughlin et al, 2002;Lee et al, 2003;Simpson et al, 2008;Bardhan and Jose, 2012;Bonin et al, 2014;Mitchell et al, 2016). For example, belowground C inputs by deep, extensive root systems of switchgrass and reduced erosion led to increased soil organic C levels when managed as a bioenergy feedstock (Lee et al, 2007;Liebig et al, 2008).…”
