Warming reduces soil CO2 emissions but enhances soil N2O emissions: A long-term soil transplantation experiment

Long-term  warming and land-use changes impact soil CO₂ and N₂O emissions differently, with significant implications for  climate change mitigation. This 8-year soil transplant experiment in  northeastern China found that warming reduced soil CO₂ emissions but increased  N₂O  emissions, especially in grasslands, underscoring the need to consider the  balance between soil carbon sequestration and N₂O emissions in climate strategies.
