From: Effective soil erosion control represents a significant net carbon sequestration

Impact of progressive soil conservation on the erosion-induced SOC dynamics in the Yellow River basin (in units of Tg C yr−1). Panel (a): baseline period from 1950–1970; Panel (b): period from 2000–2015 after the introduction of the Grain-for-Green Project. The line widths of the arrows in each panel are approximately proportional to the SOC fluxes.
