Integrating the evidence for a terrestrial carbon sink caused by increasing atmospheric CO2
Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) is increasing, which increases leaf‐scale
photosynthesis and intrinsic water‐use efficiency. These direct responses have the potential …

The mycorrhizal‐associated nutrient economy: a new framework for predicting carbon–nutrient couplings in temperate forests
Understanding the context dependence of ecosystem responses to global changes requires
the development of new conceptual frameworks. Here we propose a framework for …

A trade-off between plant and soil carbon storage under elevated CO2
Terrestrial ecosystems remove about 30 per cent of the carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted by
human activities each year, yet the persistence of this carbon sink depends partly on how …

Soil organic carbon response to global environmental change depends on its distribution between mineral-associated and particulate organic matter: A meta-analysis
Soil organic carbon (SOC), as the largest terrestrial carbon pool, plays an important role in
global carbon (C) cycling, which may be significantly impacted by global changes such as …

Faster Decomposition Under Increased Atmospheric CO2 Limits Soil Carbon Storage
Soils contain the largest pool of terrestrial organic carbon (C) and are a major source of
atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). Thus, they may play a key role in modulating climate …
