Soil carbon loss in warmed subarctic grasslands is rapid and restricted to topsoil

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Niel Verbrigghe and colleagues from the Group Plants and Ecosystems, University of Antwerp, Antwerp, Belgium Nanjing, China have published the paper: Soil carbon loss in warmed subarctic grasslands is rapid and restricted to topsoil, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: Using natural geothermal soil gradients of up to +6.4 u25e6 C in subarctic grasslands (Sigurdsson 2016) the authors show that soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks decline strongly and linearly with (-2.8 t ha-1 u25e6 C-1 ).
• future: A large fraction of SOC in the topsoil is particulate organic matter protected . . .
