Microbial mineralization of cellulose in frozen soils

High latitude soils can store around 40 % of the Earth’s soil carbon. Here, the authors add 13C-labeled cellulose to frozen mesocosms of boreal forest soils and find that cellulose biopolymers are hydrolysed under frozen conditions and therefore contribute to the slow degradation of soil organic mat...

Sumario:High latitude soils can store around 40 % of the Earth’s soil carbon. Here, the authors add 13C-labeled cellulose to frozen mesocosms of boreal forest soils and find that cellulose biopolymers are hydrolysed under frozen conditions and therefore contribute to the slow degradation of soil organic matter.
