Abstract:<p>Carbon cycling in alpine soils is prone to changes with temperature increase, for instance because of reduced frost periods (Zierl & Bugmann, 2007). Afforestation throughout the last decades and in future with warming climate and land-use change will influence carbon dynamics. To investigate the climate-driven response of carbon cycling in alpine soils, we conducted a jar incubation experiment under controlled conditions using <sup>13</sup>C-labelled plant m… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
