Global change drives trade-offs in soil carbon stocks
Original: Trade-offs between soil inorganic and organic carbon driven by multiple global environmental changes
A new study in Nature finds that multiple global environmental changes, such as climate warming and land-use shifts, drive trade-offs between inorganic and organic carbon stored in soils. As conditions shift, one form of soil carbon can rise while the other declines, complicating estimates of total soil carbon storage and its role in the global carbon cycle. Researchers say the findings matter for climate models and land management, since soils are among the largest carbon reservoirs on Earth.
Why now: A new Nature publication on soil carbon dynamics is drawing attention amid ongoing climate change concerns.
