Abstract

Reduced soil-carbon storage in response to warming is a potential reinforcing feedback that could enhance climate change. A study now shows that for tropical montane wet forest, long-term warming (represented by an altitudinal gradient) accelerates below-ground carbon processes but has no apparent impact on soil-organic-carbon storage.
