Smithsonian scientists report new carbon dioxide study
03-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center report that doubling the atmospheric greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) in a scrub oak ecosystem caused a reduction in carbon storage in the soil. This response suggests a limited capacity of Earth's ecosystems to stabilize atmospheric CO2 and slow global warming. These findings add a new perspective and a measure of caution suggesting that elevated CO2, by altering microbial communities, may turn a potential carbon sink into a carbon source.
