Climate-driven thresholds in reactive mineral retention of soil carbon at the global scale, Published online: 26 November 2018; doi:10.1038/s41558-018-0341-4

Reactive mineral retention of carbon accounts for 3–72% of organic carbon found in mineral soil. In many biomes, the size of this fraction is determined by modest shifts in effective moisture, suggesting high sensitivity to climate change.
