Ecosystem productivity has a stronger influence than soil age on surface soil carbon storage across global biomes by Plaza, César, García-Palacios, Pablo, Berhe, Asmeret Asefaw, Barquero, Jesús, Bastida, Felipe, Png, Kenny Guochen, Rey, Ana, Bardgett, Richard D., Delgado-Baquerizo, Manuel

“…Yet, variations in the proportions of free light (unprotected) and mineral-associated (protected) carbon as soil develops in contrasting ecosystems are poorly constrained. Here, we studied 16 long-term chronosequences from six continents and found that the ecosystem type is more important than soil age (centuries to millennia) in explaining the proportion of unprotected and mineral-associated carbon fractions in surface soils across global biomes. …”
