Shifting Mountain Tree Line Increases Soil Organic Carbon Stability Regardless of Land Use

Climate and land use changes are causing trees line to shift up into mountain meadows. The effect of this vegetation change on the partitioning of soil carbon (C) between the labile particulate organic matter (POM–C) and stable mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM–C) pools is poorly understood. T...
