Short summary
We studied how tree species and local soil conditions shape carbon storage in Mediterranean forest soils. By comparing mixed and single-species stands and sampling beneath trees and in nearby open gaps, we found that soils under canopies held much more carbon. Mixed stands stored extra carbon mainly in faster-cycling forms, while longer-lasting carbon was limited mostly by soil texture. This shows that forest structure can influence carbon storage in a warming, drier climate.
