Climate legacies drive global soil carbon stocks in terrestrial ecosystems.

Science advances

Delgado-Baquerizo M, Eldridge DJ, Maestre FT, Karunaratne SB, Trivedi P, Reich PB, Singh BK.
PMID: 28439540
Sci Adv. 2017 Apr 12;3(4):e1602008. doi: 10.1126/sciadv.1602008. eCollection 2017 Apr.

Climatic conditions shift gradually over millennia, altering the rates at which carbon (C) is fixed from the atmosphere and stored in the soil. However, legacy impacts of past climates on current soil C stocks are poorly understood. We used...
