Drought drives rapid shifts in tropical rainforest soil biogeochemistry and greenhouse gas emissions

Drought impacts on tropical forest soil carbon and greenhouse gas dynamics are poorly understood. Here, the authors investigate the impacts of the 2015 drought in a forest in Puerto Rico and find that it caused shifts in soil carbon dioxide and methane emissions and led to a decrease in available ph...
