arising from G. Patoine et al. Nature Communications https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-31833-z (2022) Soil microbes play an essential role in maintaining soil functions and services, but the dynamics of soil microbial biomass carbon (MBC) under global climate change remain unclear1. Recently, Patoine et al.2 combined a global MBC data set with Random Forest modeling and reported that global MBC decreased over 1992–2013, mainly driven by increasing temperatures.
