That’s according to a comprehensive assessment of soil thermal conditions in the Eurasian high latitudes, which also found that the trend for decreasing freeze depth began in the late 1960s and appeared to stop in the early 1990s.

This is the conclusion of an international team of scientists, based on the interannual variability of oxygen isotopes in atmospheric CO2 driven by El Niño.

After the oceans, the humus is the largest carbon reservoir. If the humus decreases, additional CO2 gets into the atmosphere. A research team headed by the University of Zurich has now discovered that the soil environment determines humus depletion, which means the question as to how soils respond to global climate change needs to be re-addressed.
