Environmental science: Carbon unlocked from soils
@article{Schulze2005EnvironmentalSC, title={Environmental science: Carbon unlocked from soils}, author={E. D. Schulze and A. Freibauer}, journal={Nature}, year={2005}, volume={437}, pages={205-206} }
Changes in climate and land use are implicated as the main factors in the large-scale loss of carbon from soils in England and Wales over the past 25 years. The same picture is likely to apply much more broadly.Grounds for concernThe possibility of a positive feedback between CO2 release from soils and global warming is one of the most contentious issues in climate research. The concern is that rising temperatures may be causing some of the massive reserves of carbon stored in the soil to be… CONTINUE READING
