Alpine grassland soils contain large proportion of labile carbon but indicate long turnover times
Alpine soils are expected to contain large amounts of labile carbon (C) which may become a further source of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) as a result of global warming. However, there is little data available on these soils, and understanding of the influen...
