This suggests microbial trait optimisation can moderate carbon emissions, offering a simple mechanistic explanation for global observations and highlighting the need to integrate microbial dynamics into #climate models 🌍🧮

In SWaN #HarvardForest, we show that #microbes initially accelerate carbon release but then adjust their thermal traits, improving CUE and slowing SOC loss. Microbial #adaptation can buffer soils against long-term carbon loss 🔥🦠

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...

We’re back in #Abisko, for our early summer campaign! We’re maintaining a series of #fieldexperiments that simulate different aspects of #arctic #climate #change, including #shrub #encroachment and arctic #greening, accelerated nitrogen cycling, summer #drought, and #warming! Stay tuned!
