Multi-year incubation experiments boost confidence in model projections of long-term soil carbon dynamics
As the climate warms, soil carbon stores will likely be degraded by microbes and released as CO2, but these predictions are based on laboratory incubations that might not reflect real rates. Here the authors optimize model projections using dozens of short- and long-term incubations in forest and gr...
