Temperature sensitivity of soil carbon decomposition and feedbacks to climate change
Open accessAbstract
Significantly more carbon is stored in the world's soils--including peatlands, wetlands and permafrost--than is present in the atmosphere. Disagreement exists, however, regarding the effects of climate change on global soil carbon stocks. If carbon stored belowground is transferred to the atmosphere by a warming-induced acceleration of its decomposition, a positive feedback to climate change would occur. Conversely, if increases of plant-derived carbon inputs to soils exceed increases in decomposition, the feedback would be negative. Despite much research, a consensus has not yet emerged on the temperature sensitivity of soil carbon decomposition. Unravelling the feedback effect is particularly difficult, because the diverse soil organic compounds exhibit a wide range of kinetic properties, which determine the intrinsic temperature sensitivity of their decomposition. Moreover, several environmental constraints obscure the intrinsic temperature sensitivity of substrate decomposition, causing lower observed 'apparent' temperature sensitivity, and these constraints may, themselves, be sensitive to climate.

Temperature and precipitation regimes are determining factors for the SOC balance.
“Temperature and precipitation regimes are determining factors for the SOC balance, as they are strongly involved in processes responsible for both SOC inputs (i.e., litterfall production) and outputs (i.e., SOC decomposition, Davidson & Janssens, 2006).”
From Changes in soil organic carbon under perennial crops (2020) · cites this paper as Davidson & Janssens, 2006
In “Factors controlling decomposition of organic matter” (page not provided), the paper says soil carbon stocks reflect a balance of leaf and root inputs against outputs, and that decomposition is temperature-dependent and subject to water limitation. “Evidence for a decomposition feedback to warming” (page not provided) also discusses temperature-related changes in productivity and carbon inputs. The passages do not establish that both temperature and precipitation regimes strongly govern litterfall production, as the citing sentence implies. (LLM, conf=0.83)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredLignin decomposition rates are highly variable depending on soils and land use and are not necessarily linked to the stability of the derived soil carbon pool.
“However, lignin decomposition rates are highly variable depending on soils and land use and are not necessarily linked to the stability of the derived soil C pool [146, 149].”
From Carbon Sequestration by Perennial Energy Crops: Is the Jury Still Out? (2015) · cites this paper as [146]
Physical protection defines the kinetic properties and temperature sensitivity of soil organic carbon pools.
“The latter defines their kinetic properties and temperature sensitivity [145, 146].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
