Article Synopsis
- Soils can hold a lot of carbon, mostly from decaying organic matter, which is important for our environment.
- Researchers studied how different plants, climate, and soil properties affect how fast organic matter breaks down in various ecosystems in Spain.
- They found that more rain usually speeds up decomposition, but factors like soil composition and pH can have different effects depending on whether the area is a forest or grassland.
