...Increases in ambient temperature can increase respiration rates, which increases organic-C mineralization and, thus, counterbalance the direct effect of an increase in the C-storage capacity of an ecosystem caused by an increase in atmospheric [CO2] (Finkel et al., 2010; Ferreira et al., 2010)....
