Soil temperature and local initial conditions drive carbon and nitrogen build-up in young proglacial soils in the Tropical Andes and European Alps
Climate warming has accelerated the retreat of mountain glaciers worldwide, exposing new
areas to weathering, vegetation colonization, and soil formation. In light of probable climate …
