Climate change will accelerate if soils lose carbon

How does the increase in the average temperature of the Earth influence the amount of carbon stored in the soil? Will this lead to a vicious circle, that is will it mean further temperature increase due to the released carbon? These were the questions addressed by the international research group which included the Kiskunság experiment overseen by the MTA Centre for Ecological Research.
