A long-term soil warming experiment, lasting almost forty years, has yielded unexpected findings regarding the stability of soil carbon.
The study indicates that what has been considered 'stable' carbon in forest soils may break down as temperatures rise, potentially increasing CO₂ emissions.
These results underscore the significant impact of climate change on soil carbon dynamics and highlight the need for further research in this area.
