Predicting carbon release from forest soils through priming effects: a new approach to reconcile results across multiple scales (FORESTPRIME)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2017,

Feedbacks between plants and soil under environmental change are likely to have a significant impact on ecosystem carbon cycling. Recent work has shown that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations have enhanced tree growth in forests. However these increases in growth can also cause ‘priming effects’ whereby microbial degradation of soil organic matter is stimulated by fresh carbon inp ...
