On the topic of tropical forest soil carbon and climate change, and since I’m new here… check out our recent paper on the impact of high intensity hurricanes on soil C in Luquillo Experimental Forest in Puerto Rico. Led by Allegra Mayer with Whendee Silver.

The effect of repeated hurricanes on the age of organic carbon in humid tropical forest soil
Severe hurricanes have been occurring more often with climate change. The effect of severe hurricanes on tropical forests, which take in and release carbon more than most other ecosystems, could ampl....

Experimental warming and drying increase the age of C in soil CO2 flux in tropical forest - via different mechanisms!Warming increased decomposition ==> older soil C losses. Drying reduced microbial access to new plant carbon inputs. Read more in our paper with
