Soil warming is expected to reduce organic carbon pools. We incubated soils from a balsam fir stand previously subjected to 3 yr of in situ experimental warming (+4°C). Mineralizable carbon was significantly reduced (16-25%) in heated soils, corresponding to a 0.4-0.8% decline in the organic carbon pool.
