In this new #GlobalChangeBio paper (doi.org/10.1111/gcb.70579), we investigate why #warming initially boosts soil #CO2 emissions but losses stabilize over time, limiting impact of chronic warming on #SOC stocks
Shifts in Microbial Thermal Traits Mitigate Heat‐Induced Carbon Losses in Soils
The impact of global warming on soil carbon stocks remains uncertain. While warming initially accelerates microbial decomposition of organic matter and CO2 release, long-term field studies consistent...
