Soil carbon release enhanced by increased tropical forest litterfall
2011
Enhanced tropical forest productivity, facilitated by increasing carbon dioxide concentrations, could act as a substantial carbon sink. However, a long-term field experiment shows that increased leaf-litter inputs to the soil as productivity rises could stimulate the release of significant amounts of soil carbon, partially offsetting predicted gains in carbon storage.
