Abstract

Rising levels of atmospheric CO 2 are thought to increase C sinks in terrestrial ecosystems. The potential of these sinks to mitigate CO 2 emissions, however, may be constrained by nutrients. By using metaanalysis, we found that elevated CO 2 only causes accumulation of soil C when N is added at rates well above typical atmospheric N inputs. Similarly, elevated CO 2 only enhances N 2 fixation, the major natural process providing soil N input, when other nutrients (e.g., phosphorus, molybdenum, and potassium) are added. Hence, soil C sequestration under elevated CO 2 is constrained both directly by N availability and indirectly by nutrients needed to support N 2 fixation.

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.
