Boreal forest biomass accumulation is not increased by two decades of soil warming

Abstract

Increased soil organic matter decomposition with increasing temperature has been hypothesized to enhance soil nitrogen availability, consequently stimulating forest biomass production and offsetting decomposition-induced soil carbon losses(1-5). This projection, however, is based on evidence gathered from short-term studies (
