Our new study by Ťupek et al (doi.org/10.5194/bg-2...) found that N fertilization lowers soil microbial respiration sensitivity to moisture slowing C loss & enhancing soil C storage in boreal forests. N fertilization enhances tree growth and reduces soil GHG emissions @luke.fi @holisoils.bsky.social

Long-term nitrogen fertilization alters microbial respiration sensitivity to temperature and moisture, potentially enhancing soil carbon retention in a boreal Scots pine forest

Abstract. Nutrient availability affects microbial respiration kinetics; their sensitivities to environmental conditions; and, thus, the soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks. We examined long-term nitrogen...
