Direct and Indirect Effects and the Long-term Risks of Climate Change on Forest Ecosystems: Effects on Forest Soils
1993
Billett, M.F. (University of Aberdeen, Scotland (United Kingdom). Department of Plant and Soil Science)
Climate change effects on forest soils will occur directly on soils or indirectly through effects on tree growth. Increases in soil temperature will cause an increase in soil respiration and decomposition and many increase rates of mineral weathering and ion exchange reactions. Forest soils represent a major sink for C and increased productivity in response to elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide will lead to an increase in c storage in forest ecosystems. Changes in forest productivity will have significant effects on forest soils, included water use, soil moisture status and nutrient cycling.
