[Terrapreta] CO2 rising

[code suidae]

I read an article sometime in the past year or so that described how
forest can become net carbon emitters as global temperatures rise. I
have been unable to find the article again, but IIRC they were
describing research done on European forests.

Unfortunately I don't recall the description of how the rising
temperatures caused the forests to become net emitters.

Anyone familiar with this idea?
