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...

Drought legacy effects on plant growth and plant–soil feedback are mediated by soil microbial communities independently of root exudates and root litter
The results show that drought indirectly restricts plant growth, which is not mediated by root exudates or root litter, but through altering microbial biomass and community composition. These finding...

Using a unique long-term field experiment, we show that chronic (20 years!) drought reduces ecosystem CO2 uptake and persistently shifts soil fungal and bacterial communities, but that shifts in plant communities determine ecosystem CO2 fluxes. 🧵
