Waiting for the snow to melt…
Terrestrial soils store more carbon than exists in the atmosphere and all plant life combined. Thus, small changes in the amount of carbon stored in soil or released back to the atmosphere from soil can have large impacts on atmospheric carbon concentrations and climate change. As climate change progresses, warming temperatures are projected to increase soil microbial activity, leading to shifts in soil carbon accumulation and stabilization. Here, we sampled soils across the soil profile during the decommissioning of a 30-year warming experiment conducted in a subalpine meadow to understand the degree to which warming impacts carbon losses in both surface soils and soils deep within the soil profile.
