This is an exceptionally important study, illustrating that carbon overflow responses under elevated CO2 in the form of root exudates stimulates the nitrogen cycle and the break down of humus (priming effect).
Although not the first hint in this direction, this data set from a long-term CO2 enrichment experiment with conifers is...
