We took advantage of a long-running field warming experiment, the Tropical Responses to Altered Climate Experiment (TRACE) located in the Luquillo Experimental Forest in Puerto Rico to evaluate the e...

Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas, and tropical forests account for roughly one–third of global atmospheric CH4 uptake by soils. Projected warm…

Climate warming could cause much greater soil carbon losses in the tropics than previously predicted, with potentially dire consequences for the global climate, according to a new study published in N...

A year-long experiment in a wet tropical forest found that 4 oC of warming boosted soil CO2 emissions by 42-204%. These high rates suggest tropical soils may release more carbon under future warming t...

Microbial nitrogen (N) fixation accounts for c. 97% of natural N inputs to terrestrial ecosystems. These microbes can be free-living in the soil and leaf litter (asymbiotic) or in symbiosis with pla...
