The potential impact of the uncertainty on final estimates of net carbon removal or storage duration: negligible, low, medium, high, or very high.
There is some evidence that the effect of rock weathering on the pH and phosphorus levels of cultivated soils could reduce N₂O emissions. This is an area of active research, and we recommend this component not be included in the accounting of net carbon removal.
Edited to characterize any potential avoided emissions as co-benefit that should be excluded from the calculation of net carbon removal. See this blog post for more details.
