A study shows that Amazon understory trees can temporarily store more CO₂ as atmospheric CO₂ levels rise. However, #soilnutrient limitations could restrict their capacity to sequester #carbon over the long term: http://go.tum.de/360558

Rainforests can buffer rising CO2 in the short term — but this comes at a cost

Tropical forests are among the world’s most important carbon sinks. A study by the Technical University of Munich (TUM), the University of Vienna, and…

Community leaf nutrient characteristics drive soil carbon stabilization by regulating soil nutrient and microbial community in a subtropical forest plantation

Abstract. Tree species diversity has been found to promote soil organic carbon (SOC) in forests, but its effects on SOC stability have been poorly studied.
