Elevated atmospheric CO 2 concentration and climate change may substantially alter soil carbon (C) dynamics, which in turn may impact future climate through feedback cycles. However, only very few field experiments worldwide have combined elevated CO 2 (eCO 2 ) with both warming and changes in preci...
