This project investigates the interactions between plants and soil in the context of carbon cycling under environmental change. It aims to understand the mechanisms of priming effects in forest ecosystems and improve predictions of carbon dynamics across different forest types.
Feedbacks between plants and soil under environmental change are likely to have a significant impact on ecosystem carbon cycling.
Recent work has shown that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations have enhanced tree growth in forests.
However these increases in growth can also cause ‘priming effects’ whereby microbial degradation of soil organic matter is stimulated by fresh carbon inputs, such as plant litter, releasing additional carbon from the soil.
Given that forest soils repres…
