Vulnerability of mineral-associated soil organic carbon to climate across global drylands

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 30 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02087-y

Protection afforded by inorganic minerals is assumed to make mineral-associated organic carbon less susceptible to loss under climate change than particulate organic carbon. However, a global study of soil organic carbon from drylands suggests that this is not the case.
