Scientists Warn: Warming of 2°C Would Release Billions of Tons of Soil Carbon
Global warming of 2°C would lead to about 230 billion tonnes of carbon being released from the world’s soil, new research suggests. Global soils contain two to three times more carbon than the atmosphere, and higher temperatures speed up decomposition — reducing the amount of time carbon spends in the soil (known as “soil carbon turnover”).
