The pulses and lags in plant carbon inputs caused by intense hurricanes accelerate soil carbon cycles, increasing the incorporation of new carbon into physically protected pools coupled with older soil carbon loss.

With thanks to our funders @doescience and @NSF!

The effect of repeated hurricanes on the age of organic carbon in humid tropical forest soil Severe hurricanes have been occurring more often with climate change. The effect of severe hurricanes on tropical forests, which take in and release carbon more than most other ecosystems, could ampl....

On the topic of tropical forest soil carbon and climate change, and since I’m new here… check out our recent paper on the impact of high intensity hurricanes on soil C in Luquillo Experimental Forest in Puerto Rico. Led by Allegra Mayer with Whendee Silver.

Experimental warming and drying increase the age of C in soil CO2 flux in tropical forest - via different mechanisms!Warming increased decomposition ==> older soil C losses. Drying reduced microbial access to new plant carbon inputs. Read more in our paper with
