SCENARIO: Linking Microbial Control of Macronutrient Availability to Carbon Sequestration in Temperate Forests

University of Reading School of Archaeology, Geography and Environmental Science

Forests and woodlands serve as key carbon reservoirs, with a substantial portion of the carbon stored as soil organic matter. The capacity of forests to sequester carbon depends, among other factors, on the availability of the soil macronutrients, nitrogen and phosphorus. Read more
