Elevated moisture stimulates carbon loss from mineral soils by releasing protected organic matter

The effect of soil moisture on microbial activity and soil carbon storage remains unclear. Here, via Mollisol incubation experiments, the authors show elevated soil moisture can accelerate total carbon loss by facilitating microbial access to previously protected carbon, released following iron redu...

Sumario:The effect of soil moisture on microbial activity and soil carbon storage remains unclear. Here, via Mollisol incubation experiments, the authors show elevated soil moisture can accelerate total carbon loss by facilitating microbial access to previously protected carbon, released following iron reduction.
