Abstract

D'Orangeville, L., Côté, B., Houle, D. and Whalen, J. 2013. Reduced mineralizable carbon in a boreal forest soil after three years of artificial warming. Can. J. Soil Sci. 93: 567-572. Soil warming is expected to reduce organic carbon pools. We incubated soils from a balsam fir stand previously subjected to 3 yr of in situ experimental warming ( 4°C). Mineralizable carbon was significantly reduced (16-25%) in heated soils, corresponding to a 0.4-0.8% decline in the organic carbon pool.
