Examining soil carbon uncertainty in a global model: response of microbial decomposition to temperature, moisture and nutrient limitation

Reliable projections of future climate require land–atmosphere carbon (C) fluxes to be represented realistically in Earth system models (ESMs). There are several sources of uncertainty in how carbon is parameterised in these models. First, while interactions between the C, nitrogen (N) and phosphoru...
