Understanding the impacts of global climate, land use, and biodiversity changes on terrestrial carbon pools and fluxes requires accurate quantification of rates of carbon cycling and its interactions with other biogeochemical cycles. Quantifying and scaling these cycles and interactions is not always intuitive, a challenge that invites innovation in signal detection, identification, and controlling mechanisms. For example, isotopic methods are uniquely suited for tracking timescales of carbon cycling, particularly radiocarbon, 13C (e.g., C3/C4 transitions), and other radionuclides. Further, synthetic research that examines C-nutrient linkages is a crucial step to improve our ability to simulate C-nutrient-climate feedbacks and identify sustainable practices for land managers. We invite contributions from empirical and/or modeling studies that explore functional pools, fluxes, and fates of carbon, across multiple spatial and temporal dimensions, via improvements in quantification with isotopic methods and/or interactions with other nutrient cycles.
