Researchers Develop a New Paradigm for the Effect of Root Dynamics on Soil Carbon Storage

Prof. KOU Liang’s team and their collaborators propose a new paradigm, ‘iterative effects’, integrating multi-generational root production and turnover with multi-stage root decomposition to address the build-up of moderately stable soil carbon forms. This theoretical framework provides novel insights into soil carbon cycling and ecosystem responses to global changes.
