Deep soil in forests may store carbon less effectively than thought – study

Researchers studied carbon in soil (University of Stirling/PA) -

Forests should not be seen as a “silver bullet” against climate change as deep soils there may be less effective at storing carbon in the long term than previously thought, new research suggests.

Professor Jens-Arne Subke of the University of Stirling said we cannot “over-rely” on forests to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
