Waterlogging in Tibetan alpine meadows boosts soil carbon but increases vulnerability to climate-driven carbon loss.
Chinese scientists have found that waterlogging in alpine meadows on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau increases microbial necromass carbon in both topsoil and subsoil, with microbial carbon making up about 32% of total soil organic carbon across a hydrological gradient.
While waterlogging boosts overall soil carbon storage, it also raises unstable carbon components, increasing the risk of carbon loss due to future climate warming and wetland degradation.
The study, based on 27 sampling sites and published in Catena, offers key insights into the region’s carbon dynamics and climate resilience.
